1887. How-

began its fust
semester of
a new home
ith 1 37 students. Sinee
its original opening, the
university evolved from
Howard (College to
Samford University, and
it has moved from Mar-
ion to East Lake to
Shades Valley. From the
famous "Sherman Oak"
to the Quad and from
"Old Main" to the Cafe,
progress was the foun-
dation of Sanilord's his-
ory.

The progress was
een most in record en-

rollments and growing
building and endowment
programs.

The last two freshman
classes were the largest
in school history, while
1988 saw the comple-
tion and opening of the
newest building on cam-
pus, the Center lor the
Healing Arts.

During the fall semi
ter. the university cele-
brated with a commem-
oration of its first 100
years in Birmingham. It
began a look toward the
future of the univei i
with a realistic locus on
some goals and prob-
lems.

Students
and visitors
sang the praises of the
buildings and the
landscape, while pride
filled every student
and spanned every
facet of the university
experience.

From new players
to new coaches, eve-
ryone waited to see
what would come of
the new emphasis on
the sports program.
Some criticized the
new attitude as a gim-
mick to increase en-
dowment and income.
Not many com-
plained, however,

when Coach Bowden led
the Bulldogs to a 9-1 re-
cord in his first year.

Coach Ed McClean,
also in his first year,
struggled to give the bas-
ketball Bulldogs a new
look.

His job was to see if
"rebuilt" Bulldogs could
change the problems of
the previous season into
a productive year.

Although the win-loss
record was weak, lessons
were learned as the team
worked through difficul-
ties.

The Centennial
year was not
without excite-
ment. For most, the ex-
citement from the cel-
ebration would be
enough. Many others
would only be content
with doing what they
could to make history
themselves.

As the year
progressed, several
professors and staff
members announced
they were moving on,
and others were moving
in to take their places.
The two-year search for
a business school dean
had a happy ending.

The Centennial Walk
created quite a stir. Stu-
dents placed signs on
the library to protest
their displeasure.

The first issue of a
university scholarly
magazine became a re-
ality and the editors
were applauded for
their realization of a
dream.

It was a time when
students took responsi-
bility for changing their
environment and when
the administration be-
gan to see some of the
fruits of its labors.

said Karen Morrow.

The week began
with the purpose of
helping everyone, in-
cluding upperclass-
men, to make some
new friends. Accord-
ing to Tiffany Clin- made
ton, a freshman from
Atlanta, it worked. "I

really liked Welcome
Week. As a freshman,
it gave me a chance to
get to know so many
new people."

The emphasis was
on activity, as the
SGA sponsored vari-
ous events through-
out the week. 'I he
week began by intro-
ducing the new stu-
dents to an old tradi-
tion, dinner on the
dirt. After that, eve-
ryone spent time in
the first class meeting
of the year. Here,
strategies and plans
were mapped out for
the new year. For the
freshmen, the meet-
ing was a matter of
their officers. The
nominations were

The dance was held at the
Vestavia Gym and it gave
everyone an opportunity to
get acquainted during the
first few days of school.

Sam ford favorite,
, Chevy 6, performed
ing the Dinner on
the Dirt. Here, the lead sing-
er shows off his multiple tal-
ents as he sings, plays the
tambourine, and mans a pup-
pet. The concert ended with a
special fireworks display.

Covenant Worship
was also a special part
of the week. For the
first time, new stu-
dents were placed in
an organized worship
service that shared
the school's commit-
ment to their founda-
tion of Jesus Christ.

Emily R i s n e r , a
freshman from Al-
pharetta, Georgia,
said, "I think Cove-
nant Worship was the
best part of the whole
week."

An informative and
fun experience was
the brand new Vision
Program.

As a revamped edi-
tion of 20/20/20, Vi-
sion '87 represented
the areas available for
students to become in-
volved.

"Vision '87 gave

me an idea of organ-
izations SU offers and
it made me excited
about what I could be
a part of," said Sher-
rie Rothermel, a
freshman from
Greenville, South
Carolina.

The week also in-
cluded a school-wide
dance that took most
of the upperclassmen
by surprise.

For the second year
in a row, a record size
freshman class hit the

fates. Nobody really
new what that meant
until they walked in at
the Welcome Back
dance.

Tom Savage, a jun-
ior from Birmingham
told of his experience.
"All I remember was
not knowing anyone."

Kristin Lucas, a jun-

ior from Huntington
Beach, California,
said, "It was over-
whelming. I've been
at SU for two years
and I didn't know one
person."

Other events of the
week included an ice
skating party, a con-
cert by Chevy 6, a
football scrimmage,
and a Fireworks dis-
play.

Overall, the week
was a big success and
it really was a wel-
come to a new home.

CARNIVAL CAPERS

Students Raise $2,000 for Summer Missions

The night
fell with a
chill in the
air when
the annual
Fall Carnival was
held. Everyone
looked forward' with
the anticipation of fun
and fellowship and
the satisfaction of
helping to support the
besl cause of all . . .
spreading the gospel.
The carnival was
held in the Bashinsky
Fieldhouse and the
adja< cut pat king lot.

As usual, the park-
ing lot was full of food
booths and activities
to entice participants
to spend their money.
The rapelling from
the top of the gym was
a huge success. Ner-
vous beginners and

seasoned pros made
the long, time-
consuming journey to
the top only to find
that it took a lot less
time to come down
than it did to go up!

Sponsored by the
Outdoor Recreation
Club, the booth was
one of the top money
makers of the eve-
ning.

Another top-seller
was the M udwrestling
Arena sponsored by
SX.

The competitors
were matched against
each other for fun
and a LOT of mud.

Area churches also
participated in the
evening by providing
free hot chocolate and
information about
their college pro-

grams.

Inside, the action
was definitely warmer

and a little more prof-
itable for the stu-
dents. 2TA, the na-
tional honor society
for English majors,
sold chances to an-
swer a question.

For every correct
answer, they received
an "English coupon."
The coupons were
good in any English
class for a free A.

The cake walk also
was held inside and it
gave hungry students
a chance to win- a
homemade treat.

The Summer Mis-
sions committee pro-
vided special enter-
tainment in addition
to all of the booths.

Samford Singers

bers of the group
shared a little about
how they could use
their talents in a sum-
mer missions capacity.

Christie Dykes and
J.T. Harrell, mem-
bers of the a capella
choir, sang a duet.

A last minute addi-
tion to the program
was a group of prison
inmates from the Al-
abama State Prison
System who spoke of
their experiences and
their con versions
while in the prison
system.

One inmate shared
her story of drug ad-
diction, while another
inmate shared of his
childhood and how he
came to murder some-

one in a fit of anger.

This presentation
captured the atten-
tion and the hearts of
all who heard it. In a
strange and powerful
way, carnival partici-
pants got a teal and
harsh look at what a
change that their
money could make in

WINTER WONDERLAND?

Campus Turns White Overnight

Kxh po

In preparation tor a
week of Homecoming
activities, Lama Hick-
en and the rest of the
Homecoming com-
mittee were faced
with finding an an-
swer to tfiat question.
The full schedule of
activities was planned
as a preparation for
the big game. Tradi-
tional class competi-
tions and activities
seemed more to build
barriers than to pro-
mote unity. There-
fore, the committee
set a goal to create an
activity that would be
fun and that the en-

tire student body
could participate in as
a means of showing
then spirit.

The activity that
was decided on was an
organized mass roll-
ing of the campus.

Immediately, plans
began to unfold in or-
der to covertly imple-
ment the necessary
steps of the giant TP
Party.

Todd Carlisle, pres-
ident of the SGA,
made an announce-
ment at dinner con-
cerning when and
where and how it was
to be kept as a strictly
undercover activity.

At midnight, just as
planned, a package
was mysteriously de-
livered in front of the
library. The contents
of the package were

the rolls of toilet pa-
per that would soon
don all areas of the
campus. Along with
the toilet paper ar-
rived 100 anxious stu-
dents who would help
to carry out the mis-
sion. It was a dirty job,
but someone had to
do it!

The fun began and
students were added
to the ranks as the
word got out about
what was going on.

Within a few short
hours, the campus
and its entrance were
completely decorated.
It was early fall and
the campus looked as
white as if a winter
snow had blanketed it.
From the front gates
to the women's
dorms, a white cloud
had settled in for the

nexl daj 's activities.

Cyrethia Vines par-
ticipated in the fun
and said, "I had a fan-
tastic time. We all
worked together to
show that we were ex-
cited about the
game."

After the task was
finished, the true test
was next. What would
everyone think when
they woke up to find
that the campus was
n o w white? 1 Ho w
would the alumni re-
act to what looked to
be a big student
prank? For the most

Fart, the reaction was
a v o r a b 1 e . Many
alumni commented
that thev agreed with
the method of boost-
ing spirit. Dr. Corts
put in his two cents
worth by askini

"When is the organ-
ized clean-up going to
begin?" Faculty and
administration shared
their approval as the
talk of a campus tra-
dition was heard. Oth-
ers, students and vis-
itors alike, saw the
whole thing as detri-
mental to the celebra-
tion.

"It's really ugly,"
said Missie Hannah,
an alumnus from
Nashville, TN.

Whatever the reac-
tion, the event sure
did the job of making
an impression, and
based on the student
turnout and enthusi-
asm, a tradition was
begun that will be
around for awhile.
Maybe even the next
lOd years!

elaborate celebration
to date.

The Bulldog Beau-

event. It was held in
LSW and proved to
be very interesting.
T.ac It organi/ation was
asked to sponsor the
football player of
their choice for this

The guys would be
judged on their ap-

parent "femininity."

The guys then put on
their finest to make
them look as much
like girls as t h e y
could. From fake wigs
to high heels, they
were transformed
with the help of some
of their sponsors.

Contestants includ-

ior Class: and Rob

Sigma Chi fraternity.

This year's winners
were: Scott Hughes as
the Bulldog Beauty
and Jon Brown as first
runner up.

The car-decorating
contest was interest-
ing, as usual. This
year, the float compe-
tition was dtopped
from the Homecom-
ing activities. Accord-
ingly, the car decorat-
ing contest was a
major display of cre-
ativity on the part of
the participants.

Also being judged
were the sign-making
contest, the pumpkin-
carving contest and
the balloon-blowing
contest.

Because the cele-
bration spanned two
weekends, Halloween
festivities were also a
part of the Centennial

night, the contempo-

Truth, was in concert

dents. Later in the
week, Sons of Men

Bashinsky Fieldhouse.
Sons of Men, a Chris-

"God deserves all the

Christie's parents,

was not unusual
however, to hear a mem

or a mountain.

One of the newest
rages around campus
was rapelling. Many
rapelled off anything that
was taller than they were.
Others were a little more
discriminating about
what they would tie them-
selves to and jump off of.

The mountains in and
around Birmingham were
perfect, and rapelling be-
came a way to share the
message of Christ with
others.

The approach was def-

reached some people
who might not otherwise

Basically, the outings
were organized and run
by the Outdoor Recrea-

The group traveled
around Alabama and sur-

other weekend doing var-

tivities ranging from cav-
ing to spelunking to
rapelling. In May, they
went on a white water
rafting trip.

The president of the
group, Matthew Pless,
was a professional rapel-
ler who taught the core
members, who in turn
taught others.

He said, "it's open to
the whole student body;

you don't have to know
what you are doing."

The group got some
outside interest on var-
ious trips.

Kristen Lucas, a junior
from Huntington Beach,
California, went caving
and rapelling with the
group.

"It's neat to be able to
do different things you
would not ordinarily do;
like rapelling off the side
of a mountain or crawling
on your belly in a cave,"
Lucas said. "It's great to
get away from the city
and be outside and close
to nature."

There were some oth-
er reasons for getting

away. The members of
the group saw the activ-
ities as a way to share
their faith in Christ.

"We can share in this
way with people that nor-
mally would not go to
church," said Kristen
Hansen, a freshman from
Atlanta.

On the average, the
group took anywhere
from 15 to 30 on their
trips.

Hansen said, "We just
like to go out with who-
ever wants to join us.
Usually, we get real dirty
and tired, but we always
have a good time."

the last session of the sen-

Two major issues the sen-
ate tackled during the
1987-88 year were the
modified meal plan and a
visitation policy.

Student Senate

COLLEGIATE CONGRESS

The Voice Of Students Heard Through Elected Peers

A I first mention,
talk of the sen-
ate probably
evoked images
of business suits and
press conferences. The
student senate was not
quite that stark, and the
senators could be seen
around campus in jeans
and mini skirts.

Each school elected
two senators per year to
serve on its behalf. From
the senate body came
proposals concerning is-
sues that directly affected
the students. Amanda
Gore, a sophomore sen-
ator from paralegal
studies, emphasized the
importance of student

••The

can't do
anything without the
backing of the students."
Early in the year, the
senate was criticized for
lack of action. In a
Samford Crimson edito-
rial, the senate was noted
as merely a presence on
campus rather than a
productive organization.
The opinion said. "But it
is the SGA senate that
has been the proverbial
phantom, a ghost that no
one ever sees and rarely
hears from." The opinion
further challenged the
senate bv demanding, "if
you are doing something,
let those who elected vou

know exactly what it is."
Larry McQ'uiston. a
senior from Lannett.
served as vice president
of the SGA in charge of
the senate. Some of the
main issues centered
around the meal plan
svstem. the dorm condi-
tions, and dorm visita-
tion. Issues and possible
solutions were investigat-
ed through student sur-
veys and queslionaires
from other Baptist uni-
versities.

Dorm visitation was
addressed throughout the
year. Todd Heifner. a
freshman senator, said.
"We want to know if the
visitation is being seen as

good or bad. and what
their policies are like."
concerning the letters to
other schools. Two fac-
tors that had to be con-
tended with were the stu-
dent support of the policy
and the cooperation of
the resident assistants.
Debbie Flaker. a senior
RA. said. "It might be a
little more responsibility,
but if the university is go-
ing to trust the students
enough, then we should
be able to trust them
enough."

The meal plan revision
proposal required only
freshmen to purchase the
19-meal plan. Choices
were narrowed to either

the 12-meal plan or the
19-meal plan. With 12
meals, students would
pay the actual cost of the
food, while with 19
meals, a slight discount
would go into effect.

The senate definitely
overcame its early crit-
icism and accepted the
challenge to show its
work. It proved thai.
"students are the most
important constituents of
the university, and an or-
ganization such as the
student senate should be
as integral a part of the
university as the Senate
is to the White House."

Students Work To Make Ends Meet

For some stu-
dents, the price
of a college ed-
ucation meant
finding a job.

Working on-campus
was convenient for stu-
dents who did not own
cars and beneficial for
the university.

All on-campus em-
ployees had to be ap-
proved through the finan-
cial aid office. For some
students, their financial
aid packages included
their job requirements as
well as their scholarship
awards.

Danielle Walther, a
freshman from Atlanta,
worked in the library.

Putting out the daily
mail was a big part of
Joy Davis' regular job.
Meeting people was just
one advantage of getting
first hands on the mail.

Walther, an international
relations major, was re-
sponsible for a variety of
jobs ranging from check-
ing books in or out, work-
ing in the periodical de-
partment, and aiding
students with any ques-
tions they might have.

She worked on Tues-
day and Thursday after-
noons for a couple of
hours and then she had to
close one night a week.

"Working here has a
lot of advantages. I can
get first look at reserved
books and working with
the librarian aids me with
my personal research for
my classes," Walther
said. "The best part is

they let me study on the
job if it's critical."

Jorja Hollowell, a
sophomore from Olive
Branch, Mississippi,
worked in the housing of-
fice. She was responsible
for general clerical work
and handling room as-
signments. Jorja had to
wait for a year to get a
job on the regular pay-
roll. She was then placed
on a waiting list to work
in the housing office.

Hollowell, an English
major, was recommend-
ed and interviewed for
her position by housing
director Tim Hebson. All
the student workers were
assistants to Ann Creas-

man, housing office man-
ager.

Joy Davis, a freshman
from Sumiton, worked in
the post office. She was
responsible for helping to
put out student mail and
metering the departmen-
tal mail. Her supervisor
was Ruth Beason, man-
ager of the post office.

Davis commented, "It
is a good working envi-
ronment and a good way
to meet people."

Carla Carden, a junior
from Calera, worked in
the English department
for Dr. Charles Work-
man, chairman of the de-
partment.

She said, "I get more

than just pay. I receive
inside information within
the department which
helps make decisions
about what teachers to
take to best aid my Eng-
lish career."

No matter where and
when, the part time job
was a big part of the col-
lege experience.

At the turn of the cen-
tury, on-campus workers
at this university received
as little as 10 cents per
hour. That seems a bit
harsh, but in the early
1900s, there was no
such thing as a minimum
wage law.

Two contestants tied
for honors in the talent
competition. Julie Coons,
a special education major
from Birmingham, won
with her rendition of
"Come In From the
Rain." Janine Smith, a
psychology major from
Saraland, also won with
her piano solo of
"Nobody Knows the
Trouble I've Seen."

Smith said, "I ar-
ranged the song myself,
so it meant a lot to me
that the judges liked it."

The contestants were
judged in four categories:

interview, swimsuit, eve-
ning gown, and talent
which was worth fifty per-
cent. The public viewed
only the evening gown
and talent competitions.

The swimsuit compe-
tition was won by Kim
Williamson, a biology
major from Lebanon,
Tennessee.

Williamson said, "I'm
thrilled. This is the sec-
ond year in a row and it's
a great feeling."

Before the judges de-
cisions were announced,
Riggins sang "To God Be
The Glory" and received
a standing ovation as she
took the traditional last
walk of her reign.

Riggins said, "I'd like
to thank Samford for her
Christian morals and
standards. To represent
Samford in the Miss Al-
abama Pageant was the

most wonderful expe-
rience Fve had. To
my successor I wish
the pride to know that
she is representing the

I mendation of

^^^ Committee on

Student Affairs, and the
Student Government Ex-

versitvs procedure con-
cerning social dancing on
campus was altered.

The controversy began
during Jan term when all
fraternity presidents and
IFC representatives were
called to a meeting with
Dean Martha Ann Cox.
vice president of student
affairs.

The fraternity repre-
sentatives were given a
set of new guidelines that
called for no dancing and

no girls in the fraternity
houses.

The response of the
fraternities was with-
drawal from the annual
Step Sing production
held in February. In a
letter submitted by the
IFC to the Student Gov-
ernment Association,
several reasons for the
withdrawal were outlined.

Brad Williams, Pres-
ident of IFC. said. "You
can't get around the fact
that Step Sing is dancing,
but that was just one rea-
son for our deciding not
to participate. It was
more or less a combina-
tion of elements that led
to the drop out."

Many people used the
dance to see everyone
and catch up on what
was going on. Here a lucky guy
gets caught between two part-
ners. Sharon Brown and Amy
Davidson give their AZ big
brother a hug between dances.

Dean Cox said. "We
were tired of the incon-
sistency for saying no to
Student Government and
not to fraternities." Cox
also said that the policy
was discussed with Pres-
ident Corts. "I discussed
it with him thoroughly
and he supported my de-
cision," she stated.

Sorority presidents
met and submitted their
'.erms for participation in
Step Sing. They decided
that the groups would
present their shows in
costume and in the for-
mation of their Greek let-
ters, but with no dancing.
They also asked that their
groups not be judged.

D.vid Rigg

On January 27. 1988.
President Corts sent a
new policy about on-
campus dancing. The
policy stated: 1. dancing
would be allowed in spe-
cific and approved loca-
tions; 2. dancing events
would be scheduled
through the student af-
fairs office; 3. security
would be handled
through the student af-
fairs office; 4. attention
would be given to the
music so that it would be
appropriate for the stan-
dards and policies of a
Christian institution and;
5. the sponsoring group
would be responsible for
maintaining dress stan-

dards.

Needless to say. stu-
dents were pleased and
the preparations for the
first on-campus dance
began. Ironically, the
dance was scheduled for
the night of Step Sing
dress rehearsal. Presi-
dent Corts said of the
new policy, "I am certain
that we, as a Christian
community, can imple-
ment this policy and pro-
cedure in such a manner
that it is a further en-
hancement of our life to-
gether in this very special
place."

■ CD

It did not really matter
who was around, stu-
dents just kind of danced
wherever they were. These
guys take a few minutes to
enjoy a tune "on-the-
spot."

A fun dance was on tap
for the evening. The
music just helped to en-
hance the fun of the eve-
ning. It was fun to get eve-
ryone together without
going off campus. This
couple enjoys dancing
while goofing off to the
tune of the music.

Friendliest win recognition by peers

Though the
awards for
Slep Sing were
changed and
rearranged this year, the
traditional Friday eve-
ning recognition of out-
standing students and
teachers took place.

The Friendliest
Awards were presented
to: Mabry Lunceford, re-
ligion professor, and Ma-
ry Hudson, mathematics
professor. Lunceford re-
ceived the award for the
second year in a row. The
nominations came from
students and the awards
are given on the basis of
a popular vote.

The friendliest stu-
dents awards were given

to female student Hope
Haslam, a junior from
Sante Fe, New Mexico
and male student, Pat
Eddins. a junior from
Pleasant Grove, who re-
ceived the award for the
second year in a row.

Eddins said that he felt
"very honored to get the
award," but he did not
think he would receive
the award two years in a
row.

The annual Student
Government Scholar-
ships were also presented
to a male and female
from each class. Appli-
cants were chosen on the
basis of their religious,
social, scholastic, and or-
ganizational involvement.

The freshman recipi-
ents were Susan Byrd
from Spring Hill. Florida,
and Justin Rudd from
Ozark.

Sophomore recipients
were Michelle Young
from Hermitage, Tennes-
see, and Scott McGinnis
from Nashville, Tennes-
see.

Junior recipients were
Hope Haslam from Santa
Fe, New Mexico, and
Tom Savage from Bir-
mingham.

The Step Sing commit-
tee worked hard to make
the production a success
despite the changes in
participation. The com-
mittee was responsible
for working with groups

during their technical re-
hearsals during the two
weeks of preparation.
For the actual perfor-
mances, they were re-
sponsible for getting the
groups on and off the
stage in a very short pe-
riod of time.

Step Sing could not
have gone off without the
hard work and dedication
of all the committee
members. The committee
members were represen-
tative of the student body
and the groups that par-
ticipated in the show.

Another group that
cannot go unnoticed was
the stage crew. They
were responsible for
working with each group.

They worked to tailor a
specific lighting scheme
that coordinated the
groups theme and the
overall theme.

This group also han-
dled the sound and light-
ing for the rest of the
concert hall. Because of
the nature of the controls
in LSW, all the lighting
and sound had to be
preset in the computer.
Without the hard work
and expertise of this be-
hind the scenes group,
the show could never
have gone on.

"Spirit of Step Sing" tro-

year, this trophy was the
only award given.

SOMETHING MISSING

Fraternities Back Out; Football Team Moves In

Tsion of Slep
Sing, tradition-
all) made up of
the five social fraterni-
ties, was missing some-
thing in 1988 — the fra-
lernit) participation. The
difference was that, when
the fraternities dropped
out. another group
moved in.

The decision to drop
out of the Slep Sing com-
petition came after each
of the fraternity presi-
dents and the lnter-
fratcrnit) Council mem-
bers met with Dean Mar-
tha Ann Cox. vice pres-
ident of Student Affairs.
This meeting look place
on January I. 1 088.
During this meeting,
Dean Cox presented

some new regulations
thai all greek organiza-
tions must follow.

Among the regulations
was a "No dancing" pol-
ic) in the fraternity hous-
es. This was to go along
with the no dancing pol-
icy thai was in effect for
the entire campus. The
new regulations were an
attempt by the adminis-
tration to be consistent
with all lite organizations
on campus.

The meeting with
Dean Cox was not the
primary reason for the
fraternity withdrawal, but
it was cited as the main
instigator. IFC President
Brad Williams cited in a
letter to Student Govern-
ment President Todd
Carlisle the various rea-

i in.. I |

i|.n

sons for the decision not
to participate in the an-
nual production.

Among the reasons
was a clause that staled
that they decided not to
participate "to be consis-
tent with the newly en-
forced administration
policy of no dancing
whatsoever on campus."
Other reasons cited were:
the time commitment re-
quired for rehearsals, the
amount of money needed
for costumes, reduced
study and class time, and
an overall lack of inler-
est.

Williams felt the de-
cision to not participate
may have been made re-
gardless of the rules that
were presented by Dean
Cox. He said that he was

"unable to speak for all
the fraternities, but he
fell thai the problems had
been building up for a
long lime."

Although the fraternity
participation was miss-
ing, the university foot-
ball team's spirit was not
dampened in the least.
They had come up with
their own show, and for
the first time in fourteen
years, they were going to
participate in the annual
presentation.

The crowd roared, but
it was not from watching

dressed in their red and
blue uniforms and they
were dancing to the
sound of Michael Jack-

theme also contained oth-
er hits such as: the theme
from the "Bad News
Bears," "Let's Get Phys-

ger," "We Are The
Champions," and the
"'Samford Shuffle." They
were able to capture the
hearts of the audience
with their renditions of
the "Samford Fight
Song" and the "Samford
Alma Mater."

The production was
different because of the
fraternity withdrawal, but
it was given some added
life with the football
team's participation.

I place twice!" This
I statement, of ad-
"*" vertising fame,
proved to be true of the
Step Sing tradition. From
the first note to the last
drum roll, the only thing
that was the same were
the groups that set the
tone.

Friday night fell clear
and cold over the campus
and the faithful support-
ers came filing in. The
nervous energy and ten-
sion mounted as the show
was about to begin.

"Let The Good Times
Roll" was chosen as the
theme for the 1988 pro-
duction. Beginning the
show was the task set out

for the beautiful and tal-
ented sisters of Delta
Omicron, the Interna-
tional Professional Music
Fraternity for Women.

In what has come to be
one of the highlights of
Step Sing, the ladies
showcased their voices
with eye-stopping dance
steps and glittering cos-
tumes.

This year, the ladies
presented "the ladies."

derful women of song.
They shared a moving
display of songs by and

Will Be" and "My Boy-
friend's Back." They
changed dramatically,
however, before they fin-
ished with the Motown
era and "R-E-S-P-E-C-
T." Somewhere in be-
tween, the show spanned
the decades and the at-
titudes between the time
frames.

Robin Campbell was
the group's director and
choreographer. Other
choreographers were Pa-
tricia Fulbright, and Hol-
ly Hancock. Musical ar-
rangement was written by
Robin Campbell and Pa-
tricia Fulbright

After the saluu, the
mood was sei and the

stage was filled with an-
other year of banner per-
formances.

The final tradition was
as exciting as the first.
The brothers of Phi Mu
Alpha Sinfonia, the Na-
tional Professional Music
Fraternity for Men. per-
formed the traditional
closing program.

This year, the focus
was stars. Not movie
stars or rock stars, but
the actual masses of
atoms and molecules that
make up the stars in the
sky.

The brothers opened
with their rendition of
"Shining Star" and
"Swinging On A Star."
Their voices put all the

girls in a most romantic
frame of mind when they
sang some old favorites
like. "Stars Fell On Al-
abama" and a lullaby ar-
rangement of "Twinkle.
Twinkle. Little Star."

Bif Patterson, a senior
from Hueytown. served
as director and choreog-
rapher for the show.
David Burdeshaw. a
sophomore from Mont-
gomery, also served as
choreographer.

Traditionally, these
groups had been the onl)
non-competing partici-
pants. This year, howev-
er, they were just the
same as all the rest. Well,
almost the same!

The beautiful voices of
the sisters of Delta
Omicron filled the concert
hall with the music of the
ages. The women of mu-
sical fame were well
presented by the women
who study their art daily.
Here, two members of Del-
ta Omicron sing their

Traditions Broken As Sororities Stand Still

sp.te

I rounding the fra-
^- (entities, the wom-
en's division looked as if
nothing had really
changed. They presented
their shows with profes-
sionalism and style —
minus the dancing.

The groups were faced
with participating and
supporting the fraternity
decision. The groups
asked to be removed
from competition, and
they stipulated that they
would perform in cos-
tume in the formation of
their Greek letters. In a
letter submitted lo the
Step Sing committee.

Freshmen Susan Byrd
and Tracy Cherry par-

Sing production. The Al-
pha Delta Pi show was
complete with sailor hats

seas and sailed away.

these stipulations were
outlined. The committee
acknowledged the letter
and the plans went on as
scheduled.

Dress rehearsal jitters
were noticeable and
some people had a hard
time keeping still. Early
announcements of low
ticket sales were followed
by a sparse Friday night
crowd. As the curtain
went up, many empty
seats greeted the per-
formers.

However, the girls per-
formed just as if nothing
had changed. The sisters
of Alpha Delta Pi wore
sailor collars and hats.

excellent way to get eve-

The sisters of Chi
Omega continued with a
ride on the railroad.
From the old favorite
"Chatanooga Choo-
Choo" to "The Spirit of
New Orleans," the girls
really had the look with
their engineer overalls
and bandanas.

The sisters of Delta
Zeta experimented with a
different type of theme
by emphasizing color in
song. Their lighting and
bright, shiny costumes
only added to the em-
phasis as they sang songs

such as "'The Purple
People Eater."

The sisters of Phi Mu
took the audience back in
time with their tribute to
the Old West. With white
hats and fringe, they gave
the audience some old-
fashioned enjoyment. Fi-
nally, the ladies of Zeta
Tau Alpha sent shivers
through the audience
with their Winter Won-
derland show. With ice
blue outfits and snow-
white gloves, the feeling
of winter was in the air as
they shared some of the
old favorites of the sea-
son.

When all was said and
done, the consensus was

a hope that (he show
would return to normal.
The people who did come
were treated lo a profes-
sional looking perfor-
mance. The women's di-
vision did the best it
could given the situation.

TAITW THEMES [

Mixed Shows Taught Lesson And Entertained

In an unusual trend,
the freshman class
and the Ministerial
Association sang
along the same
lines. Their themes had
similar messages and
their presentations were
similarly thought-
provoking.

The freshman class
had to work with some-
what of a disadvantage
because they were the
"new kids on the block."
Unless they had visited
the university during pre-
vious productions, they
had never seen what Step
Sing was all about. Thus,
their task was coming up
with a theme and putting
it on the stage. Their
choice was to share the
light and darkness that is
ever present in song.

Through their theme,
they hoped to share with
the audience and their
fellow students some of
the joys and disappoint-
ments of their first year
at school. It was through
Step Sing, a very intense
and concentrated time of
working together, that
they became a close-knit
group.

The show began with
"The Heat Is On" and
the participants began
strong. The show then al-
ternated between songs
that emphasized some of
the baser elements of so-
ciety and songs that il-
lustrated God's love and
concern for His people.
The theme was further
emphasized by the
group's costumes. Some
of the members were

dressed in white sweat
suits with a sun and a
cross. The other cos-
tumes were red sweat
suits with flames on the
front. Again, these served
to emphasize the overall
theme of the program.

Directors for the show
were Rich Johnson and
Angela Baker. Melissa
Bailey served as chore-
ographer and Beth
Rowell was responsible
for the musical arrange-
ment.

In a show that touched
the hearts of everyone in
the audience, the Minis-
terial Association shared
the majesty of Jesus. It
seemed somewhat ironic
that one of the few
groups that danced was
the Ministerial Associa-
tion. After the earlier

dancing controversy,
they surprised everyone
and gave a spectacular
show.

The show combined
the new sound of con-
temporary Christian mu-
sic with the traditional
sounds of old-fashioned
hymns. They challenged
the audience to take the
time to sit back and enjoy
all that the Lord offers
them every day.

After opening with
"Majesty," the group
shared their versions of
"Hosanna," "How Ma-
jestic Is Your Name."
"Come Let Us Worship
the King," and "How
Great Thou Art." Their
costumes reflected the
theme in color and style.
The royal blue and black
showcased the lights and

the sound of the music.

Sheila Love and Stan
Hanby were directors
and musical arrangers for
the show. Choreogra-
phers were Kim
Kotchmar. Missy Wood-
son, and Ginger Camp-
bell.

In a year that tried the
patience of all the people
who were associated with
the Step Sing program,
the mixed groups buck-
led down and produced
the kinds of shows that
made the job of coordi-
nating the details an eas-
ier and more pleasant
one. They were enter-
taining, but they also
showed how the love of
Jesus was alive and wel
on the campus and in th<
lives of its students.

T^anc;

ncy footwork and
arm movements were
ng that got the au-
dience. Not many groups
showed much movement,
so when the Ministerial As-
sociation did, it helped get
the audience in the mood
for entertainment.

MIXED EMOTIONS

Mixed Division Sophomores Win Spirit Award

Sophomore Class as it
was announced thai they

had won the first Spirit of
Step Sing Award.

That award had the
distinguished honor of
being the onl) award
presented to an) partici-
pating group this year.

The Step Sing contmil-
tee judged the groups on
the basis of their attitude,
cooperation, enthusiasm,
and energy.

The winning group
was not announced until
the Saturday night per-
formance during the time

that, normally, the year's
winners would have been
named.

The group was given
the rotating sweepstakes
tropin as its award and it
was to be housed in the
Student Government of-
fice until next year.

Step Sing committee
technician Eddie Bev ill
said the sophomores
were chosen because, de-
spite the negative over-
lone of Step Sing, they
kept a positive outlook as
a group and always had a
good attitude.

time and hard work into

and "I Still Believe In

their show.

The girls wore teal-
colored night shirts to
emphasize their theme
and they oozed with en-
thusiasm and unity.

Director Buthie Swift
said the group's main
goal was to strive for
Christ to become the
center of the group.

Having accomplished
this goal, the group felt it
had won from the begin-
ning and that the Spirit
Award was just an added
bonus.

The show was chore-

and arranged by Dana
Phillips.

Committee members
included Darissa Brooks.

Sabrina Carter and Ash-

The hard work and
dedication of all the
members paid off in the

as if their dreams really
had come true.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT

Simple Celebrations Allow a Break From Routine

It was no doubt that
the cafeteria was
one of the hot spots
around the campus.
It did not take long
for freshmen to catch
on to the term "cafe"
as the proper name for
the common meeting
place. It was considered
to be one of the best
places to see and be
seen as well as a great
place to catch up on the
social and gossip scene.
At the beginning of
the year, the inside of
the cafeteria received a
facelift that consisted
of remodeling its serv-
ing facilities.

In order to comple-
ment the remodeling,
the SAGA staff worked
hard to make the caf-
eteria as much like
home as possible.

These efforts included
some special nights that
could be emphasized
through the foods that
accompanied them.

One of the first spe-
cial occasions held in
the cafeteria was a cel-
ebration that coincided
with the annual Fall
Carnival.

That night in the ca-
fe, students were treat-
ed to freshly popped
pop corn, cotton candy,
soft pretzels, nach
and ice cream. The ca
fe was full of the usua
carnival style decora
tions that included bal
loons and streamers.
Students got a chance
to get ready for the car-
nival and they actually
had some fun in the ca-
fe while getting in the
' fth.

Of course, the tradi-
tional Christmas din-
ner was held on De-
cember 1 in honor of
the Hanging of the
Green ceremony that
was held the same
night.

Decorations included
candlelight, pine and
holly centerpieces, and
red and white table-
cloths. Special enter-
tainment was provided
as the students dined
on roast beef and
chicken.

The second semester
began with a home
cooking night that fea-
tured recipes submit-
ted bv mothers of stu-
dents. Each dish served
that night was pre-
pared exactly accord-
ing to the recipes that
everyone longed to go

home for. The families
that had submitted the
dishes were invited to
the cafeteria for the
special dinner and the
students got a chance
to see just what makes
the homes of their
classmates extra spe-
cial.

During the spring se-
mester, students were
treated to a trip across
the seas as they cele-
brated Italian night.

Again, a candlelight
setting created the per-
fect atmosphere as stu-
dents filled themselves
with spaghetti, tortel-
lini, tried zucchini, and
a host of special des-
serts that had their or-
igin in Italy.

The final special cel-
ebration that was held
during the year was a

lac k\ Tourist party .

Students dressed up
and were judged ac-
cording to their cos-
tumes. The winners of
the contest were
Mandy Rodgers, a jun-
ior from Decatur, and
Jorja Hollowell. a soph-
omore from Olive
Branch, Mississippi.
Again, students were
treated to nachos. pop-
corn, ice cream, and
other carnival-like
treats.

These special nights
were a great way for
the full-time cafeteria
staff to get to know the
students as well as mak-
ing the (ale- a tun ex-
perience. The cafe stall
provided steak night at
least once- each month
where students got
their choice of a steak
or shrimp and baked
potatoes with all the
fixings.

There was no doubt
that the cafeteria was .1
tar cry from the home
atmosphere that the
students had all come
from and the place that
they longed tor, but

the stall would never
be accused of not doing
then part to make it

seem as enjoyable as

the time, he was referred
to as "Duck," a nick-

used by students and
teachers alike.

Hannah said of Cun-

pleased to be chosen with

Donald. We have been
good friends and I have
always respected him as

Hannah's final words
showed her optimism to-

ylllOur Own

Spring Competition Sports A New Look

In only its sec-
ond year of ex-
istence, many
people ques-
tioned the an-
nual Spring Fling cel-
ebration. Some
people considered the
week a flop.

When Chairman
Gigi Burns began
making her plans for
the week, she was told
that she would have
$3500 to work with.
Burns was told that
nobody could touch
the money.

About a month or
so before the events,
"Mr. Nobody" found
her money and she
was left with a mere
$900 to plan her
week.

The Spring Fling

committee originally
had $2300 from the
Spring Fling budget
and the $1200 from
the Student Govern-
ment dance budget to
spend on the week,
said Student Govern-
ment Vice-President
Stephen Davidson.
Because of the mon-
etary loss suffered
from the Step Sing
Production, he said,
the Spring Fling bud-
get had to be cut to
$900.

Fortunately, the on-
ly event of the orig-
inal planning that was
unable to take place
was the traditional
semi-formal dance.

The committee and
the Student Govern-
ment Association did

what was neccessary
to make sure that the
other events would
take place as sched-
uled.

Burns said that the
budget cut had been
difficult because she
had been planning the
events for such a long
time. She did stay op-
timistic, however, and
she felt that the week
was a fun one for eve-
ryone.

The Tacky Tourist
Party in the cafe in-
cluded the judging of
the best costume and
paraphernalia. Later
that evening, the gym
was filled with anxious
participants in the in-
door pool party.

The next day in-
cluded the prelimi-

nary elections for Mr.
and Miss Samford as
well as the Spring
Fling movie feature.
That proved to be a
great deal for students
as they got to see a
movie for a dollar and
they got points for
their group at the
same time.

The swimming
events proved to be
one of the real chal-
lenges as the groups
went head to head in
order to get more
points for the overall
competition.

Saturday was the
big finale as all of the
track and field events
and the Plaza Party
was held. The track
and field events were
the final opprtunities

to get points for the
organizations. The
night was filled with
the fun and excite-
ment of finding out
who the winners were.
The Plaza Party had
to moved into the
Bashinsky Fieldhouse
because of rainy
weather, but that did
not dampen the spirits
of the participants.

When the final re-
sults were announced,
the Ladies of Zeta
Tau Alpha were de-
clared the overall win-
ners. Also announced
were the winners of
the Mr. and Miss
Samford elections,
Donald Cunningham
and Sherri Hannah.

Getting warmed up in
the pool was all part
of the competition for the
points in the overall race.

Freshman class.

Oddly enough, the
spirit of the evening
tended toward fun
rather than competi-
tion, the norm for two
or more campus groups
in the same place.

Upperclassmen also
took part in the eve-
ning for a variety of
reasons.

One reason was ob-
vious, to meet all the
new freshmen.

Another reason for
attending was to get a
chance to work in an-
other group. For what-
ever reasons, some stu-
dents change to a

variety of groups dur-
ing their college ca-
reers. Vision gave them
a chance to see what
was going on in other
organizations and find
out how they could be a
part of another group.

One final reason for
participating was pure-
ly social. Simply, it was
the place to be and be
seen by everyone that
was anyone.

A few off-campus or-
ganizations were al-
lowed to participate be-
cause of the nature of
their purposes. Area
churches were able to
distribute schedules of
activities and listings of
their services. Various
church paraphernalia

was also distributed as a
means of advertising
programs.

This feature of the
Vision program was es-
pecially helpful as stu-
dents searched for
areas of ministry as well
as school involvement.
Vision '88 was truly a
way of welcoming in
the new academic year.
It began the year in the
right direction by di-
rectly, and indirectly,
shaping the lives and
academic careers of
others.

/~* ampus Ministries was one of the most
^ important parts of a student's life. It did
not operate on its own, however, but was
organized under the direction of its Ex-
ecutive Council.

The appointments of the council members
were made in the Spring after each can-
didate applied and was interviewed through
Campus Ministries staff.

The council planned and carried out all
the programs of Campus Ministries under
the direction of Ginny Bridges, director of
Campus Ministries.

The council met once a week for prayer,
bible study and planning. During this time,
the members of the council were able to take
some time out of their schedules to share
with each other and become part of a family.

God used the programs of Campus Min-
istries to enrich the lives of the students and
the community.

The Executive Council contributed greatly
to that work and provided an excellent op-
portunity for involvement and love.

Seasoned Celebration

T t was December 1, 1987, and the
■■■ Christmas celebration had begun with
the annual Hanging of the Green Service.

The walkway to the chapel was lined
with luminaria candles and the inside was
filled to capacity with guests.

The honorees were chosen after nom-
ination by campus organizations and vot-
ed on by the Council of Chaplains.

Honorees were chosen for their overall
scholarship, leadership and contribution
to the university.

This year's honorees were: Todd Car-
lisle, Christie Dykes, James Cooper, Ka-
ren Duncan, Kim Fitch, Vonda Kay
Gann, Brian Harper, Won Kim, Larry
McQuiston, Luann Tyre, Steven Horns-

Prayer

Jesus loved the world, helped many,
and discipled a few."
Cheri Bachofer, Campus Out-
reach coordinator for Samford,
made this statement shedding light
on the purpose, the reason, and the
goal of a discipleship program.

Discipleship groups from Campus
Ministries and Campus Outreach have

Samford by involving group leaders who
intensely train others in their walks with
Cod.

Although Campus Ministries and
Campus Outreach discipleship groups
originate from different sources their
themes and purposes are the same. Just
as Paul instructed Timothy in II Tim-
othy 2:2, "and the things you have heard
me say, in the presence of many wit-
nesses, entrust to reliable men who will
also be qualified to teach others,"
Bachofer said we, as Christians, should
also follow through with the process.

Campus Outreach discipleship groups
originate from Briarwood Presbyterian
Church who help support the inter-
denominational ministry. Bachofer and
Charles Hooper are the Campus Out-
reach coordinators for Samford.
Bachofer said that the material for the
groups are obtained from a variety of
sources such as Briarwood and the Bap-
tist bookstore.

"I encourage group leaders to select
material which their groups need,"
Bachofer said.

g{j Discipleship

Suzy Herrington, a sophomore
management major from Modes-
to, Cal. who is a group leader
through campus ministries, said,
"It's not the material that's im-
portant but the lifestyle."

Campus Outreach does not
have a registration for discipleship
groups, Bachofer said, but rather
"we encourage people to make
disciples where they are through
natural relationships."

Campus Ministries discipleship
groups originate from the Cam-
pus Ministries executive council.
Ginny Bridges, director of Cam-
pus Ministries, said there are two
"key leaders" who serve on the
executive council and organize
the groups. Sherri Hannah, a se-
nior J/MC major from Franklin,
Tenn., and Jay Straughan, a soph-
omore business major from Mar-
ietta, Ga., were directors of wom-
en and men's discipleship,
respectively, for the 1987-88
school term. Straughan will again
serve on the council along with
the incoming director of women's
discipleship, Angela Prater, a jun-
ior pre-med major from Fayette,
Ala.

Prater has been through both
programs of discipleship groups.
She was discipled through the
Campus Outreach program and
now leads a group through Cam-

pi^

Mi.

, dis

lipleship coordinator, my respon-
sibility is to match leaders to girls
who have signed up to be in
groups," Prater said. "My goal is
to have leaders to accommodate
all the girls because it's a shame
that we have so many girls who are
hungry for the Word and not
enough leaders."

According to Bridges, groups
from Campus Ministries use such
materials as "Master Life," ob-
tained from the Southern Baptist
Convention, and "Workbook of
Spirtual Disciplines," a Methodist
publication.

Bridges also leads three differ-
ent groups of freshmen, called
Freshmen Council, in a study of
scripture for a year. Bridges said
that the group uses a "discovery
type of method" by reading the
Word and applying it to ever\da\
situations which the group faces.

Herrington said, whatever
channel is taken, discipleship
groups provide a means of grow-
ing in Christ as "one Christian
pours their life into another."

Tn a university setting, it was
A\rr\ important to have a
source of power to hold on to.

For many students, their col-
lege experience was just anoth-
er part of their christian pil-
grimage.

Each campus organization
had an opportunity to partic-
ipate in the christian program-
ming of the university through
their representative to the
Council of Chaplains.

This group of students was
made up of the chaplains from
each campus organization.
They met once a week to dis-
cuss ways to make their groups
witnesses for the gospel mes-
sage as well as social organiza-
tions.

The council had its own of-
ficers during each year. The
terms of office for each mem-

ber ran paralell to individual or-
ganization election schedules.

Look

One of the most obvious
changes in the Campus Min-
istries office was the new Baptist
Student Union. No, the BSU was
not new, but the way it would be
organized was. For the first time
since the creation of Campus Min-
istries, the Baptist Student Union
was to be a separate organization.

Ginny Bridges, Director of
Campus Ministries, said that the
Campus Ministries acted as an um-
brella for all the ministries of the
school. There has always been a
Baptist Student Union, but it has
never functioned entirely on its
own. According to Bridges, the
only new thing about the BSU
would be in the way that it func-
tioned.

Many activities were coordinat-
ed and sponsored by the Baptist
Student Union. Under the new or-
ganization, the group would func-
tion much of the same way that
BSU's at state schools worked.
One difference was that the BSU
operated on top of the Baptist sup-
port of the university. At state
schools, the BSU functioned more
as a Baptist witness on the campus.
Some activities that were run bv

Members of the choir were invoked

the BSU were Break Away, a

national Ministry that assist-
ed non-English speaking
adults.

According to Ginny Brid-
ges, "the purpose of BSU is
to guide students in a bal-
anced Christian life of the in-
ward disciplines as well as
outward ministries."

Officers included: Danny

Screaming children, nursing
scraped knees and playing games
on swing sets and slides may not
have been the average student's
idea of a fun Saturday morning.
A few dedicated ones, however,
found that spending part of their weekend
with inner c itv kids had many rewards.

F.ac h Saturday, 20-25 students piled into
cars and rode down to Loweman's Village
on Southside to spend the morning loving
some kids that could be verv unlovable at
times, Jennifer Willis, a freshman manage-
ment major from Fayetteville, Ga., said.

"As soon as we drove up the kids could
see us coming and would chase our cars,"
she said. "They were always waiting for

The students would play with the kids
for about two hours and then divide them
into groups and teac h a short lesson.

"The girls were always good listeners,"
Willis said. "They learned a lot and were
verv responsive to what we had to teach
them."

In addition to the bible lesson, the stu-
dents would teach them songs, and the
children even invented their own version
of a Christian rap, Willis said.

"We JUSI tried to show the love of )esus
Christ through our actions," she said. "We
wanted them to see Jesus in our everyday
life."

Willis said their main purpose was to
show the children their love and listen to
them.

"Wea< ted as a big brother or sister," she
said "Sometimes thev just needed some-
one to talk to."

Transition was
the key to a
year that would
change the face
of the university.

The year began with
questions concerning
the quality of the ed-
ucation received. In ed-
itorials that appeared in
the school newspaper,
students spoke out
against the idea that the
faculty and administra-
tion were spoon feeding
them in their education-
al attempts.

The endowment for a
new divinity school got
the attention of the uni-
versity and the South-
ern Baptist Convention.

For some, the idea of a
master's degree was not
appropriate in the four
year college setting. For
many, however, it was a
logical next step.

A book fund was es-
tablished as an outlet
for students that com-
plained of inadequate
resources in the library.
This fund would allow
students to order books
to be placed in the li-
brary at their recom-
mendation.

In an ever-changing
community of learning,
the academic aspect
was under constant
scrutiny and improve-
ment.

i. Hudson shows one ol her
| very effective methods of
conveying her subject. Here,
she works some of her math prob-
lems while wearing the formulas that
her class will find helpful in working
their problems.

Hudson Chosen as Student's

LTavorite

Eutaw native Mary
Hudson was named
recipient of the
John H. Buchanan Award
for Excellence in Class-
room Teaching at the uni-
versity.

"I never dreamed I
would receive the honor,"
she said soon after the
award was presented at
the semester-opening con-
vocation in September.
"The fact that they appre-
ciate what I do in the class-
room means a lot."

The Buchanan award,
which carried a $1,000
cash prize and silver tray,
was a memorial to the
longtime pastor of Bir-
mingham's Southside Bap-
tist Church, who also
served for many years as a
university trustee.

"My whole desire in the
classroom is to teach peo-
ple to think, to love math,
how to study and to do
their best in everything
they do," she said "I tell
them that if they follow
through, they can suc-
ceed."

Hudson, who was valedic-
torian of her class at Greene
County High School, holds a
Bachelor of Science degree
from the university and a
Master's degree from the
University of Alabama.

She was a member of nu-
merous professional math or-
ganizations, and has served as
faculty advisor to the univer-
sity Math Club for more than
1 5 years.

Hudson is part of a strong
family tradition at the uni-
versity.

Her brother. Dr. R. Melvin
Henderson, and her two sis-
ters, Merle H. Williamson
and Martha H. Kirkland, are
university alumni.

She has four children.
Three of them, Alan, Cheryl
and Gloria, had university
credentials.

"My brother and sisters
are all connected to church-
related professions," Hudson
said, adding that their par-
ents laid a strong Christian
foundation for the family.

Her father, Robert Lee
Henderson, had 39 years of
perfect Sunday School atten-

dance at Eutaw Baptist
Church, and had been super-
intendent or co-

superintendent for most of
those four decades.

"My mother, who died two
years ago, was a living exam-
ple of true Christian love,"
said Hudson. Family and
friends had established the
Annie Mary Henderson
scholarship fund to help a
student from the Eutaw
church attend the university.

Hudson was an active
member of Dawson Memo-
rial Baptist Church, where
some 19 years ago she started
a Special Education Depart-
ment.

The program includes
what she believes was the on-
ly Sunday School class for au-
tistic children in the South-

Deception and Deceit

Charley's Aunt, the
"world famous
farce," opened the 65th
season of the SU The-
atre.

The cast included:
Micah Boswell as Jack
Chesney; Scott Nesmith
as Brassett, the butler;
Stephen Mason as
Charley Wykeman,
Jack's friend; Robert
Lane as Lord Fancourt
Babberly and "Char-
ley's Aunt;" Linda Pier-
son as Kitty Verdun,
Jack's girlfriend; Terri
Stewart as Amy Spet-
tigue, Charley's girl-
friend; Jay Glasgow as
Sir Francis Chesney,
Jack's father; Chuck
Smith as Stephen Spet-
tigue, Amy's father;
Penny Edwards as Don-
na Lucia D'Alvadorez,
the real aunt; and Sher-
rie Rothermel as Ela
Delahay, Lord Babber-
ly's love.

Jack Chesney, an Ox-
ford University under-
graduate, dreams up a
sure fire scheme to win

the woman he loves. Char-
ley Wykeman, Jack's
friend, also gets in on the
scheme in order to ex-
press his feelings toward
the woman he loves.

In order to gain an au-
dience with the two ladies,
Jack and Charley invite
them to their room in or-
der to meet Charley's
Aunt, who happens to be
visiting from out of town.

The plan goes well until
Charley's Aunt has to be
delayed getting into town.
Jack and Charley are then
faced with figuring out a
way to get the girls to
come anyway.

They brainstorm and
come up with an idea to
dress up one of their
friends, Lord Fancourt
Babberly, as Charley's
Aunt. From this point on,
the comic elements are set
in motion.

The subject matter of
the play dealt mainly with
the scheme and the var-
ious situations that it
placed its participants in.
On several occasions,

Lord Babberly attempts to
call off the charade to no
avail.

Eventually, Charley's
real aunt does arrive in
town. She marries Jack's
father. Jack marries Kitty
Verdun and Charley mar-
ries Amy Spettigue, Lord
Babberly regains his for-
tune lost from gambling
and the hand of the only
girl he loves.

The play gave a new
look to the theatre. Some
new faces donned the
stage in style that had not
previously been seen in
SU productions.

The wholesome comedy
gave a funny, but true de-
piction of the problems
with not being honest.

In somewhat of a moral
statement, the play less-
ened the blow with its laid
back presentation. A new
actress, Sherrie

Rothermel said, "I'm re-
ally excited about it. I
hope everyone enjoys it."

Spending time together was a
very important priority for
the Powells. Here, the Drs.
Powell enjoy each other's com-
pany while getting some exer-
cise at the same time.

Married Teachers Give Students A

ouble Dose

For many couples
throughout the
nation, going off to
work meant heading in
different directions in
different cars or only
one person leaving for
work.

That "normal" situ-
ation did not apply,
however, for some of
the university staff
members and faculty.
In more than one in-
stance, husbands and
wives went their sepa-
rate ways to work, but
only after they arrived
on campus.

For the most part,
the campus couples did
not work in the same
department, but they
were always close
enough to meet for an
afternoon break or
lunch together.

Some of the married
couples included: Dr.
James Fisk, Chemistry-
Professor and Dr. Rose-

mary Fisk, English Profes-
sor; Dean Parham Wil-
liams, Law School and
Polly Williams, Education
Professor; and Dr. Robert
Powell, Religion Professor
and Dr. LAne POwell, So-
ciology Professor.

There were many ad-
vantages to having "team
teachers" as a part of the
university. With the em-
phasis that the university
placed on both religious
principles and the family
setting, it was very impor-
tant to see that exhibited
in the faculty and staff
members.

Perhaps one of the most
prominent examples of a
christian marriage and the
joys of that relationship
could be found with the
Powells.

A specialty of both the
Powells was the study of
various types of relation-
ships. They were very in-
volved with a variety of
counseling in a range of

different settings.

Lane Powell was asked
to write a book on rela-
tionships to be used in
conjunction with some of
the materials that were
used by the Southern Bap-
tist Convention.

Robert was involved
with various church min-
istries and the team coun-
seling that he and Lane
were involved in.

The idea that a couple
could make their living in
the same place and with
each other provides the
university students with
the most important and
lasting lessons of all.

As for the Powells
themselves, they enjoyed
their professions, their
jobs, and being close to
each other. "I love it!",
said Lane Powell.

Married Teachers

The Powells were very pop-
ular with their students.
They maintained very strong
hips with their stu-
dents by helping out as faculty
sponsors and advisors.

Concerts And Tours Produced Some

weet Notes

Throughout the univer-
sity, each organization
celebrated its history
in a special way.

Such was the case with
the popular A Cappella
Choir. This group was
known in places throughout
the world.

Wherever they went, they
captured the attention and
the hearts of people that
they came in contact with.
They were also favorites at
home.

Each spring, former
members planned for the
annual Homecoming Con-
cert. It was a time for re-
union of friends and reliving
of memories of past days in
the choir.

The choir members all
auditioned before becoming
a part of the group. Of up-
coming auditions for the
1988-1989 choir, Dean
Black said, "We have a lot
of pretty women and we
need some men to go with
them. Men who sing are

The choir was looking toward
its fiftieth year in 1989. Spe-
cific plans for the anniversary
celebration were incomplete.
However, they planned to
"come up with something" to
celebrate.

The choir was begun in 1939
by Kathleen Martinson, a fac-
ulty member in the School of
Music.

The choir was active in a
variety of ways. During the fall,
they spent most of their time in
rehearsals.

The spring semester was full
of tours and appearances
around Birmingham and
around the state. Many people
knew of the university because
the choir had appeared in their
church or in their city.

The spring break tour was an
annual tour that the choir took
part in. They alternated places
from year to year by planning a
tour through the states and then
planning an overseas tour.

Past tours included a trip
through Florida and a day at
Disney World.

For the summer, fifteen

members of the choir looked
forward to a two-month stay
in Germany where they
would help establish new
churches and conduct reviv-
als.

As a vital part of the uni-
versity, the choir was a very
special way to share Christ,
learn discipline, and expe-
rience some once-in-a-
lifetime opportunities.

For many members, the
experience of the choir was
a very hard thing to give up
when their college careers
came to an end.

For the new members, it
was the beginning of a host
of memories that would
bring them joy throughout
their lifetimes.

A big day at DisneyWorld
was in store for the choir
on its Spring Break tour. Be-
low, some members get their

This row of computers was
one of the many terminals on
campus. For many, the comput-
ers were a fast, easy way to han-
dle their schoolwork. For others,
however, the machines spelled
constant headaches and time
that could have been spent oth-
erwise.

It was 2 a.m. Young men
and women sat hunched
over keyboards, their faces
lit with an eerie green glow
from their terminals. A mut-
ed, clacking sound came
from the keys as fingers flew
over them, sending com-
mands to the computers and
making additions and dele-
tions in the programs.

Scene from a science-
fiction movie? A peek into a
top-secret military base? No,
this was common to the uni-
versity. Students were al-
ways in one of the many
computer labs. Some were
just retyping the day's class
notes while others were fran-
tically finishing research pa-
pers.

In 1985, President Corts
commissioned the CATS
(Computing At Samford) re-
port in an effort to make the
university a computer liter-
ate community.

There were five on-
campus labs open to stu-
dents. At least one of those

labs stayed open twenty-four
hours a day.

They were: the Math lab in
Brooks Hall; the Law lab in the
Law School; the Journalism lab
in the Beeson English Building;
the lab in the Davis Library;
and the lab in the Education
building. Students took advan-
tage of these labs, especially the
Math lab, which stayed open all
day, every day.

That proved to be a solution
for the procrastinating student
who did not start on his term
paper until the night before it
had to be turned in.

Members of the faculty en-
couraged the use of computers
for their assignments. More and
more, computer disks were be-
ing turned in as essays and pa-
pers.

The traditional hand-written
assignments were quickly be-
coming a thing of the past in the
new computer society.

Dr. Janice Lasseter taught
three sections of introductory
English using the computers.
She said that it helped with

making corrections and sugges-
tions easier on the students and
the instructor.

"When I struggle with the
legibility of the prose, the let-
ters themselves, I really have to
work at understanding their
content. When it's easy to read,
I am over that hurdle and I can
get to what they're saying so
much easier. I think I'm more
respondent to their writing.''

Provost William Hull said, "I
think that once the community
gets the sufficient skill, then the
real challenge will be how we
are to think about the whole
field of learning in the truly
computer generation."

It seemed Dr. Hull had not
spoken to any of the students.

They would tell him that the
real challenge came when they
sat down at midnight to write a
10-page report due the next
day.

One thing that can be said of
the computer labs on-campus
— they've raised procrastina-
tion to an art form.

This student works diligently on
an assignment. The busiest
and largest lab, located in
Brooks Hall, was the place where
many students met and worked on
their assignments. It became some-
what of a social gathering late at
night when many students were busy
with their last minute preparations.

The Cast Explored More Than Gamma Rays
And

arigolds

One of the most
interesting the-
ater presenta-
tions of the year was the
modern, emotionally
charged drama that re-
vealed an embittered
mother's relationship
with her two children.

The Effect of Gam-
ma Rays on Man-In-
The-Moon Marigolds
was an autobiographi-
cal drama written by
Paul Zindel that fo-
cused on a disturbed
mother venting her
frustrations on her chil-
dren through various
fits of verbal abuse.

Penny Edwards, who
portrayed the mother,
said the play "helps you
see how things from a
person's past can keep
you from developing a
relationship with your
child."

Cast member Sherrie
Rothermel said the
mother emotionally
abuses her children by
calling them "ugly" or
"sleazy. " She also said,

"anyone who comes will
leave thinking about the
message."

The play's guest direc-
tor, Vic Fichtner said,
"The children are used to
the verbal abuse. That is
why the family succeeds.
They make the best of it."

Fichtner said the moth-
er's language has a strong
affect on her daughters'
personalities. The abuse
has caused the youngest
daughter, Tillie, to be-
come very inhibited, while
causing the eldest daugh-
ter, Ruth, to seek accep-
tance through sensual
dress.

However, Fichtner said,
"out of the barren soil of
this household comes
beauty. The story Zindel
wrote is slightly absurd
and unbelievable, yet it
has enough love to make it
a universal family story.
My hope is that the au-
dience will believe some-
thing beautiful will come
from this family."

Marigolds was selected
Best American Play of the

1969-70 season and
shared an OBIE Award
for Best Off-Broadway
Play that same year.
Zindel also won a Pulitzer
Prize for the work.

Fichtner likens Zindel's
work "close to Tennessee
Williams in his dialogue.
He translates poetry into
natural conversation."

Fichtner, a Samford
theater alumnus, present-
ly serves as theater arts su-
pervisor for the Jefferson
County Board of Educa-
tion. In 1985, Fichtner di-
rected SUT's production
of The Rivals.

In addition to Edwards
and Rothermel, the cast
included Linda Pearson as
Tillie, Teri Stewart as
Ruth, and Laura Kilgore
as Nannie. Scenery, light-
ing and costumes were by
faculty design team Bar-
bara and Eric Olson.

The Effects Of Gamma Rays On Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds

ural pervaded the stage as

peared on stage simultaneously.

Interns Get Ahead With Extra

xpenence

Being a part of the
ABC tradition be-
came a reality for
one student during the
year. In satisfying the
internship requirement
for his major, Ronnie
Hollis got to be a part
of something tnat
would change his life.

Once every four
years, an international
event captured the
hearts and attention of
people all over the
world. This past Winter
Olympic Games, held in
Calgary, Alberta, Can-
ada, captured the atten-
tion of local students in
a way that was closer to
home than usual.

Ronnie Hollis, a jun-
ior from Fort Payne,
landed an internship
with the ABC Televi-
sion Production Staff.
The journalism/mass
communication major
worked on the set of
the ABC coverage cent-
er side by side with
names like Jim McKay,
Al Micheals, and Frank
Gifford.

The internship re-
quirement was not a

new thing, but landing
such a fun and profitable
job was not an easy task.
The students were able to
pick their own job and
count it as their internship
with departmental ap-
proval. The internships
were a requirement for
majors in business, reli-
gion, and pharmacy. Oth-
er schools offered intern-
ships for practical
experience and class cred-
it. The whole idea of the
internship served as a time
of learning and seeing
classroom lessons at work
in real life. Laura Powell,
a senior interior design
major, got her internship
with the Laura Ashley
Company. In what started
as a summer internship,
Laura has advanced, in a
year's time, to serving as
assistant manager and
sales clerk. For many peo-
ple that participate in any
type of internship, they
are able to develop good
interviewing skills and
useful contacts for the fu-
ture job hunting. In some
cases, the internships
turned into permanent
jobs. Another advantage

of the program was the
recognition that came to
the university. If the in-
ternship requirements
were met, then the univer-
sity received the benefits
when they sent later grad-
uates into the job market.

Ronnie's jobs included
gathering information
from the computerized in-
formation system, work-
ing with commentators,
and working on the set of
the master control. Hollis
said, "I had worked so
hard to get here and I
wasn't sure what I would
be doing. After two inter-
views, they put me in the
research department and I
couldn't have hand picked
a better job."

For Ronnie, the expe-
rience served a bigger
Kurpose than supporting
is studies. "Through
working at the Olympics,
I've been able to verify
what I want to do as a ca-
reer," stated Hollis. For
others, the program pro-
vided some most valuable
experience and a great el-
ement to add to the re-
sume.

Students From Across '

D/order

Nigeria, Germany,
South Vietnam, —
the university was
an open door to the world.
Each of these countries as
well as others were rep-
resented by twenty-four
international students.

Andrea Wichmann, a
junior religion and French
major, was from Bremer-
haven, W. Germany.

She said she liked it
here because Samford of-
fered the major in religion
with which she one day
hopes to work with the
Baptist students in Germa-
ny.

"There is nothing like this
in Germany," she said.

Anita Cnadha, a soph-
omore business and fi-
nance major, was from La-
gos, Nigeria. Her dream
was to travel.

"I love meeting new
people and learning dif-
ferent cultures," Cnadha
said.

Yume Phung, a junior
biology major, was from
South Vietnam. Her goal
was to go overseas to un-
derdeveloped nations to
help raise health stan-
dards.

These students sounded

a lot like average American
college students who have
dreams and goals like every-
one else, but they did differ
in their needs because they
were international students.

Chadha said, "We have
very basic needs, like know-
ing how and where to shop in
the States, for example."

The other needs that came
to her mind were quite basic
to an American: getting a so-
cial security number to open
a bank account, driver's li-
censes, finding places to stay
when the dorms close for hol-
idays, and other more per-
sonal needs.

Chadha said, "We need to
help each other."

From those needs and the
desire to fill them came the
idea for an international stu-
dent organization.

Phung said, "It's impor-
tant because we are different
and we came from different
systems of education. It
would be good for new stu-
dents to be helped from our
experiences."

Chadha was the driving
force behind the new group.
She got the idea over the
summer when she encoun-
tered some international stu-
dents who had needs and

problems that no one was
really sensitive to. For ex-
ample, one student had
her phone service cut off
because her check did not
clear in time. "People
don't realize that our
phone is our only connec-
tion with home," Chadha
said.

One of the main func-
tions of the organization
would be to help students
"to work together to
make improvements on all
the legal and other mat-
ters that were encoun-
tered at the university."

This was definitely the
beginning of a new aware-
ness of the foreign stu-
dents on the campus. It
was also the beginning of
the university taking ad-
vantage of having the
world at its doorstep and
all of the benefits that
would mean.

The cafeteria was a good
gathering place for
many of the international
students. Here, Lisa Hale,
from Spain, seems a little

Thornton Wilder' s One Act Takes A

i/ourney Back

The university the-
atre closed its suc-
cessful 1987-88
Kroduction season with a
umorous, yet touching
look at the American fam-
ily.

"The World of Thorn-
ton Wilder" featured
three, heartwarming, one-
act plays. They were:
"Infancy. " "Childhood,"
and "The Happy Journey
to Trenton and Camden. '
Harold Hunt, director
of the one-acts, described
the plays as "comedies
with interesting under-
tones of the serious."
Hunt said the plays were a
lot of fun on the surface
level, but they also had
some depth.

Cast member Barbara
Dawson described the
plays as funny and cute,
yet touching and deep.

"Infancy" portrayed
adults not understanding
the true needs of children.
Childhood gave a zany
look at the games children
play. Cast member Rob
Strickland said the play
"echoes things in your
childhood that you didn't
think were universally
common."

the Harrison Theater fill
with laughter as audience
members identified with the
fictitional family going on a
vacation in a car.

The one-acts were

f iresented in typical Wilder
ashion; all but the basics
were trimmed away. To the
surprise of the audience
members, there was no sce-
nery or backdrop and only a
few props were used. The au-
dience had to imagine the
setting in the simple, yet di-
rect scenes.

Hunt said the simplicity of
design was unusual for
Samford. Dawson said the
reason for such a simple set-
ting was to place the focus
entirely on the actors and the
characters they were trying
to protray.

The actors kept the audi-
ences' attention by taking ad-
vantage of Wilder's interest-
ing staging techniques. To
the delight of the viewers,
cast members walked
through the audience cham-
ber and frequently stepped
out of their role to talk di-
rectly to the audience. The
well-know Wilder techniques
helped the audience to get
involved with the play.

SUT's scheduled finale was
Agatha Christie's Ten Little
Indians. Hunt decided to

change plays to focus on act-
ing and give roles to more
people. Hunt also said Ten
Little Indians wasn't as intri-
guing as he wanted it to be.

At first, many drama ma-
jors were upset about cancel-
lation of the full-length play
for the shorter, one-acts.
Many majors felt it was an
anticlimactic way to end the
season.

However, as the perform-
ers began rehearsing, their
feelings began to change.

Cast member Teri Stewart
said once the cast got into the
show, the excitement rose.
She said she was sorry so
many cast members had com-
plained about the cancella-
tion because it caused many
people not to see the plays.

Cast member Marti John-
son said the one-acts prob-
ably challenged the cast more
than Ten Little Indians. He
also said the Wilder plays
helped him grow more as an
actor.

In spite of some last minute
changes, SUT presented a

Erofessional and unforgetta-
le look into the world of
Thornton Wilder.

ust A Chat

"X Tot many students ever

■*■ » Corts in settings oth-
er than school. Others claim
they do not see him on cam-
pus and that he seems un-
available to students. The
president does have another
side and he took some time
out of his busy schedule to
provide a glimpse of that oth-
er side.

TERM OF OFFICE: Dr.
Corts was inaugurated as
Samford University's
President on November 9,
1983.
AGE: 46

"IF I WERE NOT DO-
ING THIS, I WOULD:
try something in the busi-

something in Europe, but
it would be something that
is helpful to people."
FAVORITE MOVIE:
"Charley" starring Cliff

LAST MOVIE SEEN:
"Witness" starring Harri-

BIGGEST ACCOM-
PLISHMENT: "There is

no single event. It is an op-
portune time to be part of
something that is larger than
life."

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT
MY JOB: "getting to know
the people I work, with and

WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT
MY JOB: "that I know so few

WHAT MOST PEOPLE
DON'T KNOW ABOUT
ME: "I'm not an ogre and I

MOST EMBARRASSING
MOMENT: "I was in a hotel
where they were filming a
movie starring Morgan
Fairchild. I went to the desk
to ask for something. The
desk attendant told me not to
be surprised if I saw someone
that looked like Morgan

her. Then I asked who Mor-
gan Fairchild was."

great minds."
WHERE DO YOU SEE
YOURSELF IN FIVE
YEARS? "I want to be a
better person than I am

Schools Run Smoothly As Deans & VP':

ake Charge

A common mystery
among college stu-
dents centers around
the specific jobs for which
deans and vice-presidents
are responsible.

Dean Timothy Burelle of
the Pharmacy school
summed up the dean's re-
sponsibility best. "(We are)
the chief academic and ad-
ministration officers of the
schools." This seemed like a
rather broad statement, but
so were the responsibilities
of the deans.

Within the university,
there were seven different
schools and seven different
deans. They included: Lee
Allen, Howard College of
Arts and Sciences: Marian
Baur. Ida Moffett School of
Nursing; Gene Black. School
of Music; Dr. Julian Prince,
Orlean Beeson School of
Education: and Bobert Da-
vid. School of Business. Vi-
ce-presidents include: Dean
Martha Ann Cox, Student

Affairs: Steven Allgood, Athlet-
ic Administration; Mr. Gerald
Macon. Business Affairs; and
Parham Williams, Cumberland
Law School.

The vice-presidents mainly
acted as coordinators for the
various departments. They were
directly accountable to Dr.
Corts for the staff and programs
under their control.

Dean Williams of the law
school said his responsibilities
include, "The development of
alumni relations, management
of the law library, and the di-
rection of a major placement
program."

Dean Julian Prince of the
School of Education said his
main goal was to see that in-
tegrity was maintained. He also
saw one of his main respon-
sibilities as overseeing the prep-
aration of quality teachers. He
was also responsible for hiring
new instructors, making sure
records are accurate, and that
students who graduate were du-
ly certified in Alabama. "I like

the atmosphere here," he stat-
ed, "it is one of the strongest
institutions in Alabama, and it is
going to be one of the most
outstanding Baptist universi-

Dean Lee Allen was prob-
ably the busiest dean of all. He
was responsible for the oper-
ation of thirteen separate de-
partments. Allen said that his
main responsibility was com-
munication between all of the
departments. Allen arrived on-
campus around 7:30 a.m. each
day and he usually stayed until
6:30 or 7:00 p.m.

The newest dean on-campus
was the business dean. Bobert
David. He joined the staff in
April 1988 and immediately
began incorporating a student-
run computer business. Some
future plans included starting a
venture capital firm. In that
firm, students would be the as-
sistants under a full-time man-
ager.

COVER STORY

Bottom Drops

NEW YORK — On Tuesday, October 19,
1987, an event unparalleled in American his-
tory' occurred: the New York Stock Exchange
closed with a loss of 508 points.

Of the 1 .860 stocks listed on the Exchange,
1.749 fell in value on that day.

This one-day loss capped a two-month de-
cline, in which the value of U.S. stocks plunged
by nearly half a trillion dollars.

Seventeen percent of the total value of the
Dow Jones Industrial averages was lost. How-
ever, that figure was far behind the eighty
percent wipeout that was suffered in the Great
Depression in 1929.

The effects of "Terrible Tuesday" were felt
at home as well as around the world. The
university lost approximately one million dollars
on paper, but administration officials were not
overly concerned.

Gerald Macon, vice president for business
affairs, said at the time that administration
officials "aren't panicking in any way. shape, or
form" over the crash.

Since then, the university fundraising efforts
garnered more than forty million dollars, and
the market stabilized.

Miss Michigan
Takes Crown

ATLANTIC CITY — Kaye Loni Rae Rafko. a
24-year-old native of Monroe. Michigan, was
crowned as the 1988 Miss America last Sep-
tember and no one was more surprised than
she.

She said that she had been told on numerous
occasions that she did not have what it took to
become Miss America. Among other things, she
was a brunette and her talent consisted of a
Hawaian-Tahitian dance.

When asked about the competition. Miss
Rafko spoke of her interview as her strongpoint.
"I talked to some of the judges afterward," she
commented. " and they said the interview was
what pulled me through. A couple of them said
that I was the only contestant that was not
aspiring to be anything; I had already become
that — a nurse."

Miss Rafko received her nursing degree from
the St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo, Ohio,
in 1985.

Rafko used her new exposure from the Miss
America Pageant to become a spokesman for
the nursing profession. She traveled all across
the country speaking to different groups about
the importance of nursing. One such stop in her
travels was the Baptist Medical Cent-
er/Montclair Regional Center in Birmingham.

she is being crouned Miss America 1988. Rafko. a nurse,

Entertainment Loses Greats

Fred Astaire

BIRMINGHAM — Although
the year brought many joyful
memories, the deaths of several
entertainers cast a gloom over
1987.

On June 22, Fred Astaire
died of complications from
pneumonia. The 88-year-old
dancer extraordinaire starred in
many movies during the De-
pression years of the 1930s
and the war years of the 1940s.
He starred with legends like
Rita Hayworth and his famous
partner. Ginger Rogers.

Jackie Gleason, The Great
One, died of cancer on June
24, just two days later. He was
71. Gleason made his mark

with his portrayal of Ralph
Cramden in the 1950s sitcom,
"The Honeymooners." His
most famous movie role came
in the 1961 hit "The Hustler"
in which he played Minnesota
Fats.

Lome Greene died of a heart
attack in Santa Monica, Cali-
fornia, on September 1 1 . The
72-year-old actor was a pioneer
of Canadian broadcasting, and
he maintained his Canadian cit-
izenship throughout his life. He
starred as the patriarch Ben
Cartwright in "Bonanza."

Liberace, the 67-year-old pi-
anist who became famous for
his excessive use of furs and
jewelry, died on February 4, in
Palm Springs, California.

The cause of death was listed

as pneumonia brought on by
AIDS, acquired immune defi-
ciency syndrome. Although
Liberace denied having the dis-
ease, rumors persisted about
his homosexual tendencies.

John Huston, one of the
greatest movie directors to ever
live, died of chronic emphyse-
ma. He was 81. Huston won
two Oscars for his efforts. After
his debut with, "The Maltese
Falcon," Huston later directed
"The African Queen" and
"Prizzi's Honor."

One of Hollywood's premiere
tough guys. Lee Marvin, died of
a heart attack at the age of 63.
Marvin won an Oscar in 1956
for his role in "Cat Ballou" and
went on to later play the leader
of the "Dirty Dozen."

Award Winners

By John Puckett
EN Copy Editor

BIRMINGHAM — No matter what your taste.
1987 supplied enough fun and excitement in
the entertainment world to make you happy.

The best movie of the year, according to the
Motion Picture Academy of Fine Arts, was
"The Last Emperor." It walked away with nine
Oscars, tying the most number of Oscars won
by a single film in history.

Best Actor and Actress honors went to Mi-
chael Douglas and Cher, respectively. Douglas
won for his performance in "Wall Street," a
timely, gripping drama about insider trading,
while Cher's performance in "Moonstruck" was
more comical.

The Grammys were highlighted by the ap-
pearance of Michael Jackson who had not made
a television appearance in two years.

Jackson had not appeared since performing
his smash hit, "Billie Jean" on the show in
1985. Despite his appearance, Jackson was
snubbed in the awards department.

The best album of the year was "Graceland,"
by Paul Simon, while the group of the year was
Bon Jovi. They captured the award with such

hits as, "Wanted: Dead or Alive" and "Living
On A Prayer."

Whitney Houston also made her mark as she
became the entertainer with the most number-
one singles in a row in history. Houston's
"Where Do Broken Hearts Go" hit number one
making her seventh single in a row.

The Emmy awards were not carried on net-
work television and the four-hour program was
the longest in history. For the first time, the
program was carried on the Fox Broadcast
Network.

The hottest show on TV was definitely "L.A.
Law," which won five Emmys for 1987, in-
cluding Best Drama Series. It also led the way
for NBC's 16 Emmys. CBS had 1 1; PBS had 8;
and ABC only mustered 4.

The country music world honored its best at
the Academy of Country Music Awards. The
Entertainer of the Year award went to Hank
Williams, Jr., Top Male Vocalist award went to
Randy Travis, Jr. and Reba McEntire walked
away with Top Female Vocalist honors. For the
second year in a row, the group Alabama was
snubbed. The group was nominated for three
awards.

Papal Visit
Causes Stir

By John Puckett
EN Copy Editor

BIRMINGHAM —
Pope John Paul II
loured parts of the
United States for ten
days in September
1987, his first visit to
America since 1979.

Unlike his 1979
visit, which was
marked by admonish-
ments and berate-
ments for the inde-
pendent ways of
American Catholics,
his 1987 visit fea-
tured blessings and
warm homilies to the
enthusiastic crowds
that greeted him.

Extensive security
measures made sure
that the Pope's visit
was danger free. Over
7,000 National
Guardsmen, Secret
Service agents, as well
as state and local po-

lice guarded the Mi-
ami Airport to insure
the Pope's safety.

When riding
through the streets,
the Pope rode in a
customized
"Popemobile," a
Mercedes 230G.

The papal visit also
created a gold mine
for entrepreneurs who
cashed in on Pope-
mania.

Souvenirs ranged
from T-shirts embla-
zoned with ridiculous
sayings (Pope McK-
enzie. The Original
Vatican Animal) to the
ultimate in personal
hygiene, Pope-on-a-
Rope soap.

President and Mrs. Reagan

arrives in the United States.
The Pope arrived in Miami
to begin a nine-city tour of
the stales.

POLITICS

Candidates Fight For Nomination

John Pucketl
EN Copy Editor

Throughout 1987 and 1988. the
races for the Democratic and Re-
publican nominations for president
were a constant source of news.

On the Republican side, what be-
gan as a close race ended in a strong
finish for Vice President George
Bush. After battling Robert Dole for
several months without being able to
pull ahead. Bush was aided by an
interview with Dan Rather of CBS
News. When prodded about his in-
volvement in the Iran-contra affair,
Bush responded angrily, standing up
to Rather on national television.

This outburst helped to dissolve
some of the "wimp" image he had
carried around since the beginning
of the campaign, and helped propel
him to the front of the Republican

race. Other contenders, such as Pat
Robertson, the preacher turned pol-
itician, made progress early in the
race, but gradually lost steam.

On the Democratic side, indeci-
sion reigned. The biggest surprise of
the race was, undoubtedly, Jesse
Jackson, who was locked in a tight
race with Massachussetts Governor
Michael Dukakis and Tennessee
Senator Albert Gore. Jackson cre-
ated problems for the leaders of the
Democratic party, many of whom
considered Jackson to be
"unelectable," even if he received
the nomination of the party.

As the race wore on, however, it
became obvious that Dukakis would
be the Democratic nominee in the
race for the presidency. Aided by
strong showings in the Midwest and
West, Dukakis easily nudged out

Jackson for the bid. Jackson quickly
began campaigning to become
Dukakis' running mate in 1988. but
Texas senator Lloyd Bentson was
selected instead.

On the Republican side. Bush,
who had enjoyed a huge lead in the
polls, watched his lead begin to slip
away. According to an NBC News
poll, 58 percent of the American
people did not want to follow Ronald
Reagan's policies for the next four
years. This indirectly hurt Bush, who
was having a hard time breaking
from the image of being a puppet of
the Reagan administration.

Each of the Democratic candi-
dates, it seemed, enjoyed his mo-
ment in the sun, Paul Simon, the
"ugly-duckling" Senator from Illi-
nois, enjoyed a strong fall campaign,
but his popularity waned as the win-

ter of 1987 and the spring of
1988 progressed.

Richard Gephardt also had his
moment. He finished second in
the New Hampshire primary, with
20 percent of the votes. His na-
tivist trade policies and his "fiery,
mock-populist rhetoric," as Time
magazine put it, made him a hit
with the blue-collar workers, but
he too burned out.

As the day for the nomination
approached, Bush and Dukakis
were running neck-and-neck in
the polls. Neither seemed to be
able to pull ahead of the other.
The question of who would be the
next President of the United
States, which at one time seemed
to be easy to answer, would def-
initely not be decided until No-
vember.

Unrest in Gulf
Increases All Year

John Puckett
EN Copy Editor

In 1987. the United States became directly
involved in the Persian Gulf conflict between
Iran and Iraq.

In July of 1987, Kuwaiti tankers carrying oil
sold to the United States began flying American
flags. President Ronald Reagan vowed to do
what was necessary to protect Americas in-
terests in the Gulf.

This was necessary due to an increase in

hostilities between Iraq and Iran. Some of the
fiercest fighting of the seven-year war between
the two nations occurred during the fall of 1987
and the spring of 1988. Iran's rag tag flotilla of
speedboats, frigates and whatever else would
float seemed to fire at anything moving in the
Gulf, while Iraq continued to push for a U.S.-
Iran confrontation.

And they were not disappointed.

When reflagged tankers and American
helicoptors were harrassed by Iranian gunboats
and missiles, United States forces struck back.
On September 21, United States helicopters
opened fire on an Iranian ship, the Iran Ajr,
when it was caught laying mines. In early and
mid-October, American reprisals continued as

Iranian missile platforms and gunships were
destroyed after attacks on United States vessels.

Incidents such as these kept tension high in
the Persian Gulf throughout 1987 and into
1988, and illustrated President Reagan's tough
"anti-terrorism" policy.

Despite President Reagan's hard-line ap-
proach to what he called the "terrorism" by
Iran, it was an economic fact that the U.S.
needed Iran's oil. Over the summer of 1987.
the U.S. imported $700 million in Iranian oil.

By August of 1988, however, a fragile cease
fire had been declared in the eight-year Iran-
Iraq war.

In an effort to keep the Persian Gulf open to navigation, the United State* began in July to escort ressels to protect them from Iran. In September, the United Stales Nar>)
bleu up an Iranian ship that was caught laying mines in the Gulf. Several mines were confiscated.

BORK BOWS OUT

John Pucketl
EN Copy Editor

It had happened 103 times before
in American history: a spot was open
on the Supreme Court, and the Pres-
ident had the chance to fill the space.
He nominated a successor to the de-
parted judge to take his place on the
bench.

But this time, things did not go too
smoothly. President Ronald Reagan
named Robert Bork as the successor,
and immediately a storm of contro-
versy surrounded the man with the
curly hair and thin beard.

The appointment of Bork to the
Supreme Court would have shifted the
court's ideological balance to a con-
servative majority for the first time
since the 1930s. Bork would def-
initely represent a big change for the
highest court in the land. Ironically,
Bork was a leading critic of the mod-
ern court's decision making, and he
had his own theory on how jurists
should interpret the Constitution.

Bork's critics, led by the Senate
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jo-
seph Biden, argued that Bork was a
right-wing radical whose opinions and

writings revealed an extremely con-
stricted view of the Constitution that
would threaten basic principles of so-
cial justice and individual liberties.

President Reagan, during his two
terms, had the opportunity to nom-
inate several justices. It was especially
important that the last one be exactly
right. Bork and his supporters argued
that he was a fair, open-minded, bril-
liant jurist whose philosophy of ju-
dicial restraint would counteract 30
years of excessive social activism by
the court.

The pressure of intense scrutiny by
the press and non-stop questions on
his political stand became too much
for Bork at one point in the pro-
ceedings; he asked the president to
withdraw his name from the nom-
ination. Friends and supporters urged
him not to quit, though, and he soon
reentered the race.

After almost a month of intense
public scrutiny, Bork's nomination
was defeated on the floor of the Sen-
ate, ending his bid to become the
104th Supreme Court Justice and
dealing a severe blow to
presidency.

Auoriatrd Prr»

The Senate rejected President Reagan's nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme
Court by a 58~t2 rote, which ended a long contentious debate over a judge
alternately portrayed as a brilliant jurist and a dangerous extremist.

The leaders of the world's two
most powerful nations met in
Washington in December of 1987.
Ronald Reagan and Mikhail
Gorbachev signed a treaty elim-
inating an entire class of atomic
weapons from Europe and the rest
of the world.

The agreement eliminated So-
viet and American missiles and es-
tablished rigorous on-site verifica-
tion procedures that pave the way
for more ambitious agreements in
the Strategic Arms Reduction
Talks (SART) regarding long-
range weapons.

two sides showed a willingness —
at least for the moment — to make
that dispute less of an obstacle to a
START Treaty.

More importantly, perhaps, was
the spirit of friendliness and open-
ness that pervaded the summit. It
was the closest the United Stales
and the Soviet Union have come to

forty-year Cold War.

Highlights of the summit were
personal in nature, and they in-
volved Reagan and Gorbachev.

liners throughout the summit. At

USA WINS THE BATTLE
OF THE BRIANS

CALGARY — Although the United States was
dominated in virtually ever) competition, the
"Battle of the Brians" was not one of them. For
three days of competition and weeks of media
build-up. two young men. both named Brian
endured an incredibly tense battle of wills and
skills.

Brian Boitano. the American, and Brian
Orser. the Canadian, were two of the finest male
figure skaters in the world. The two were good
friends and they were similar in mannerisms
and appearance.

After the compulsory figures and the short
program. Boitano held a slight edge in the point
category. He had won the figures, worth 30
percent of the total, but lost the short program.

worth 20 percent. The medal would come down to
the winner of the long program.

Skating to Coppola's Napolean, Boitano exe-
cuted jumps, twists, and turns that dazzled the
audience. He seemed to enjoy himself, too — as
he swirled into his final spin, he broke into a
radiant smile. Then he came to a halt — and
fought back tears of joy.

Orser, skating in his home country, skated bril-
liantly. So powerfully, in fact, that four of the nine
judges rated his performance higher than Boita-
no's. When Orser finished the program, teddy
bears and flowers by the hundreds rained down on
the ice.

Boitano just edged him out on points and Orser
said, "I'm disappointed. What can I say?"

Boitano's medal was the first gold medal for the
United States and it settled the question of the
battling Brians.

CALGARY — Perhaps the most
loved performer of the Olympic
Games was Michael Edwards, a
24-year-old plasterer from Chel-
tenham, England.

It is for sure that Edwards was
not the typical competitor.

He was not the muscle-bound,
fine-tuned, skill-conscious compet-
itor.

He was, however, a member of
the British national team and he
would soon become a sentimental
favorite of the spectators.

Edwards, also known as "Eddie
the Eagle," did not win his event,
the ski jump; in fact, he came in
dead last.

He did win the hearts of the
media and the people in countries
all over the world.

Wearing thick glasses and an
intense expression under his gog-
gles, Edwards fearlessly pointed
his toes downslope and went for a

His flights, however, were meas-
ured as some of the shortest known to
man.

He did not seem to care, however,
that he was terrible at the sport he was
competing in: he just did what he had
to do to enjoy himself.

Edwards became known for his
candid and witty answers to questions
posed by the press.

When he was asked who his fa-
vorite skier was, Edwards replied,
"Pope John Paul II."

During the ski jumping competi-
tion, the Olympic Committee consid-
ered banning Edwards from the com-
petition.

They cited the fact that he could
possibly hurt himself or some of the
other competitors.

"Eddie the Eagle" was finally al-
lowed to complete all of his jumps.

In so doing, Edwards gained a little
of the thrill of competing in the
Olympics as well as gaining the love of
the people of the world.

Jansen Falls; Loses Chance
to Capture Gold

By John Puckett

CALGARY— At six a.m. on
Sunday, February 14, Dan
Jansen received a telephone
call. That call would change
his life and, especially, the
next few days.

Jansen, 22, was a speed
skater with the American
team at the Winter Olympics
in Calgary. He was consid-
ered by many to be one of
America's best hopes for a
speed skating medal — pos-
sibly a gold.

That life-changing phone
call came from the hospital
room of Jansen's sister,
Jane. Jane was fighting a
battle with leukemia and she
was losing. Jansen was able
to speak with his sister de-
spite the fact that she could
not speak back. Four hours

later, Jane died.

Eleven hours later, Jansen
lined up against his competitors
for the 500 meter event. He
dedicated the race to his sister.
Jansen was obviously dis-
traught. He was grieving; he
was nervous and anxious.

Perhaps that explains why he
fell during the first turn of the
race, skidding out of control
and clipping another skater be-
fore slamming into the side-
board.

The crowd at Calgary, and
viewers around the world,
mourned with Dan Jansen. Eve-
ryone seemed to be in his cor-
ner rooting for him in his next
event, the 1,000 meter race to
be held on Thursday.

Jansen started well, surging
past the other skaters. At the
600 meter mark, he was .31
seconds faster than any of the
competition. The crowd was on

its feet, in Calgary and
around the world.

Then, unbelievably, just
200 meters short of the fin-
ish line, Jansen fell again.
He sat, stunned, on the ice
until his teammates came to
help him up.

In an Olympics in which
the United States was dom-
inated by the other nations,
Jansen had to deal with the
extra pressure of grief from
a far away place.

Although Jansen did not
win a medal at the games, he
did win the hearts of the
American people. For weeks
after the Games had ended,
the postman brought cards
and letters full of sympathy
and admiration.

Jansen definitely fell on
the ice. but the people of the
world reached out to pick
him up.

CALGARY— She was the
epitomy of confidence and com-
mitment. "I just know I can win
the gold," she would mutter to
herself occasionally.

Debi Thomas, the 20-year-
old premed student at Stanford,
was a flashy, brilliant skater.
She was set to square off
against East Germany's
Katarina Witt, the reigning
Olympic champion.

Both ladies were practically
flawless in their short programs,
but Thomas led in points. It
would come down l<> the free
programs.

Witt skated well, but most
observers fell that it was within
Thomas' power to win the gold.

Disaster again struck, however
— Thomas wobbled and then fell
during her program, thereby end-
ing any chance for winning the
gold.

She was overtaken by a Cana-
dian for the silver and she wound
up with the bronze. Witt was
awarded the gold.

Thomas was obviously disap-
pointed as she headed home to

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA —

The ten-second jolt of an earthquake
in October 1987 scared Californians in-
to thinking.

The quake, centered between Whit-
tier and Pasadena, was 30 miles from
the San Andreas Fault. "This was a
little wake-up call," warned a California
disaster-planning official.

The quake, measuring 6.1 on the
Richter scale, was a tremble compared
with the 8.1 quake that hit Mexico City
in 1985. However, the short shake was
the most potent in Southern California
since 1971.

California's October earthquake left
more than 100 injured and claimed the
lives of six, including an electrical re-
pairman buried in an underground tun-
nel, a college student struck by falling
concrete in a campus garage, and three
people who died of heart attacks
brought on by the shock.

The jolt, modest in size, paralyzed
civil-defense systems and created a new
awareness in the importance of prepar-
ing for the dreaded "big one." Millions
were awakened to the realities of this

Swaggart's was another in the grow-

NFL Strike Hurts Players

For four weeks in
1987, football fans were
sent scrambling after
programs every time
their favorite pro team
hit the field.

The NFL players'
strike in late September
and early October

caused team owners to
fill their rosters with
"has-beens, wanna-be's,
and never-wases."

All the familiar, big-
name stars were walking
picket lines, trying to
force the owners to ac-
cept their demand for
free agency.

The players lost . . .
twice. After four weeks

of negotiations, repre-
sentatives from both
sides were no closer to
an agreement than when
they started, and strikers
began to feel the eco-
nomic pinch of missing
paychecks.

As if this didn't put
enough pressure on the
striking players, some of
the replacement teams

were actually playing bet-
ter football than the reg-
ulars.

Fans even went so far as
to boo regular players who
crossed the picket lines to
return to the team.

The football strike in
1987 did nothing more
than emphasize the lack of
unity among NFL players.

The walkout lasted for

dermatologists had op-
»ed the use of tanning beds
nee they came into exist-

with their strongest
mings ever.

"We, (dermatologists)
don't think people should
use tanning beds just to get a
tan," said R.O. Lauderdale,
a dermatologist at Baptist
Medical Center-Montclair.

He said that tanning heds
could he used to treat some
forms of disease, such as pso-
riasis or acne, hut that ra-
diation was still harmful.

"Tans from a bed don't
protect you from the sun,"
he said.

Many students say that
they tan in a bed before go-
ing to the beach in order to
keep themselves from binn-
ing.

"If you gel a good tan in a
bed and then go to Florida
and sta) i n tin- sun,''
Lauderdale said, "you'll still
get burned."

Several students said the

tham to stop using the devices.

As in any uni-
versity com-
munity, the
organizations
where its stu-
dents served were the
backbone of its success.

The campus organiza-
tions grew by leaps and
bounds as enrollment hit
record levels. Some very
important changes were
made in regard to stu-
dent participation.

The continuing pres-
ence of established
groups such as the A
Cappella Choir, Alpha
Phi Omega, and the
Campus Communica-
tions paved the way for
new groups. One of the
most significant addi-
tions was the chartering

of the Omicron Mu
chapter of Alpha Kap-
pa Alpha, a national
greek organization for
black women.

A new sign lan-
guage class also was
begun and the ROTC
detachment was
cleared to remain on
campus.

With over one hun-
dred established or-
ganizations, involve-
ment and service were
a must. The groups
were able to assure
everyone of some fun
and the beginning of
some lifetime friend-
ships.

Watching very closely
was the main key to
getting all the signs just
right. With the specializa-
tion required of the lan-
guage, a small shift in the
finger positions could have a
totally different meaning.

When Mar lee
Matlin, the star
of Children of a
Lesser God, pre-
sented the Oscar for
Best Actor during
the Academy

Awards, she signed
her words to commu-
nicate her message.

With the turmoil
at the Galludet Col-
lege for the Hearing
Impaired and their
right to have a deaf
president, the public
became more and
more aware of the
needs of the hearing
impaired.

University stu-
dents also became in-
volved with some of
those needs by learn-
ing sign language
and putting their
knowledge to work.

"I used to be an
interpreter for the
deaf at my home
church," Marti Hol-
lingshead said. "I
couldn't carry on a
conversation with
them though and I
was interested in
learning to sign bet-

ing the spring semester.

Berry, who did not
read lips, signed
through an interpreter,
"I decided to help
teach students so they
could help other deaf
people," he said. "I am
very interested in help-
ing the deaf."

Hollingshead said,
"He is teaching us con-
versational sign lan-
guage. He shows us a
sentence and we all go
around and repeat it to
him."

Other groups also
got involved in the
projects to aid the deaf
and hearing impaired.

Hope Haslam, a jun-
ior from Sante Fe, New
Mexico, was a member
of Delta Zeta Sorority,
whose philanthropy was
Galludet College.

She said, "We
learned some songs,
and our creed, but the
earning became re-
warding when I had the
chance to put it into
practice."

The sorority was
asked to serve at a
Christmas Banquet
held in connection with
McEl wain Baptist
Church's Deaf Minis-
try. The girls waited on
tables for 100 deaf peo-
ple and had to use sign
language to communi-
cate.

"I enjoyed learning
the skill," Haslam said.

iRVICE WITH

A SMILE

Getting something
for nothing was
definitely a thing
of the past, but there was
one group on campus that
did its best to keep that
tradition alive.

Alpha Phi Omega, na-
tional service fraternity
for men, worked hard
around the campus to be-
come a very active part of
the university and the
community.

The Gamma Chi chap-
ter was founded in 1 94 1 at
Howard College. At that
time, thirty-three Howard
men chartered the chap-
ter to provide services
necessary to the campus
and the community.

The fraternity worked
together and became in-
volved in a variety of ac-
tivities.

Some of them included:
operating all the conces-
sion stands at the home
football games: showing
campus movies; operating
concession stands at the
campus movies; keeping
the university mascot, SU;
and various work at com-
munity facilities such as
Camp Winnetoska, the St.
Charles Rehabilitation
Center, and the Oak
Mountain Living Center.

For many students, the
community services often
went unnoticed. Most of
the people who knew any-
thing about the group re-
lated their knowledge to
the annual Alpha Phi
Omega Used Bookstore.
This was, by far, the most
popular service that the
group offered. Through
the bookstore, students
were able to set their own
prices and save money
rather than having to pa\
regular new book prices.

Alpha Phi Omega
profited by retaining a
percentage of each sale.

Another positive for the
group was that the book-
store was their main fun-
draising effort each year.

Fraternity membership
was open to all male stu-
dents in good standing
with the university.

Officers for the 1987-
88 school year included:

ident; Mike Manning, sec-
ond vice president; Tim

PUTTING IT
ALL TOGETHER

Oone of the most
treasured tradi-
tions of all ed-
ucational institutions
was the annual year-
book publication.

This was a reminder
for all time of the var-
ious activities and
events that make each
school year a unique ex-
perience.

The yearbook staff
was given the responsi-
bility of putting such a
publication together.

The first task was the
selection of a theme.

Naturally, in a year of
celebration as in 1987,
there was no other
choice but to follow in
that path.

100 and Counting
was the theme that was
chosen in order to co-

ordinate with the year
long commemoration
of the 100th anniversa-
ry of the university's
move to Birmingham.

"We really had no
other theme that would
even seem appropriate
with such a prominent
part of the university
programming going to-
ward that celebration,"
said Rachel Pinson, Ed-
itor of the 1987-88
yearbook.

"It's going to be very
easy to work with," said
Hallie Von Hagen, de-
sign editor.

Once the theme was
decided, it was a lot of
work to find ways and
materials to carry the
theme throughout the
book.

The official logo of the
Entre Nous was de-
signed and adopted during
the 1986-87 school year.
This came to be known and
recognized throughout the
university as the main sym-
bol for the annual publica-

1 127

One especially help-
ful resource was the
Special Collections Di-
vision of the Davis Li-
brary.

The staff was able to
utilize old yearbooks
and photographs from
as far back in university
history as the late
1800's.

Those pictures were
used in various places
throughout the book to
show the link between
the past and the present
university.

One special highlight
of the yearbook staff
was the recognition
that the university re-
ceived when the 1986-
87 yearbook received
awards for excellence

in two national year-
book competitions.

In one competition,
the yearbook was
judged along with
twenty-one other of the
top yearbooks in the na-
tion.

The other competi-
tion yielded a first place
finish for the book in
the overall category.

The competitions
were held by the Na-
tional Collegiate Press
and the Associated Col-
legiate Press.

However the year-
book was able to pro-
vide for the students
and the university fam-
ily, it became a mean-
ingful part of every stu-
dent and their years as a
part of the university.

During a brief break be-
tween classes, Hallie

storm for a section of the

Being where the
action was

proved to be the
key for covering all the
bases of the university's
activities.

The Crimson news-
paper staff was definite-
ly the source for most
of the news around
campus.

The school year
opened with a series of
articles and editorials
examining the academ-
ic activity of the univer-
sity.

The interest was
sparked by some stu-
dents that felt the ac-
ademic practices and
requirements of the
university were not a
ways up to par.

The next big story
had to do the contro-
versial Centennial
Walkway construction.

Many students
showed their disagree-
ment with the project
by staging a sort of pro-
test at the construction
site.

The protest consisted
of several signs and

posters placed on con-
struction equipment
and on the entrance to
the library.

The Crimson staff

view of the project
from all points of view.

The Crimson staff
was also on the heels of
the biggest event of the
year . . . the dancing
story.

When dancing was
prohibited in the fra-
ternity houses during
Jan term, the fraterni-
ties dropped out of Step
Sing citing the policiy
as the last straw.

Throughout a series
of two to three issues,
the Crimson staff
researched i

presented the dancing
issue fairly and infor-
matively.

One problem that
the newspaper faced
throughout the year
was the unusual amount
of staff turnover.

ooaA,.

The unpredictably
of the staff positions
made the editorial staff
have to work harder to
maintain the quality of
the publication.

The most exciting
move of the year was
the expansion of the of-
fice.

Because of the in-
crease in advertisement
sales, the Crimson was
able to purchase some
new graphics comput-
ers.

They purchased sev-
eral new Macintosh
computers that were to
be used by all the areas
of the communications
department.

No matter what the
occasion, the Crimson
staff was there to cover
the facts and give the
scoop on the happen-
ings around campus.

Developing talent was not
always recognized at first,
but it was definitely cultivated
throughout the year. Here, staff
writer, John Puckett, takes part
in a layout session, sort-of.

Spreading it all out was nec-
essary sometimes. Here,
Amy Lawrence, gets the job
done. Lawrence was a staff writ-
er for both the Crimson and the
Entre Nous.

Getting picture assignments
and appointments straight
were vital to getting the story
down accurately. Here, Karen

Creeks Division

The pledges just
kept coming and
coming! Record
freshman enrollment
produced record pledge
classes for fraternities
and sororities.

No one knew exactly
how to plan or what to
say when preparing for
rush.

For the sororities,
long, hot days in their
rooms would prove to
double their chapter
sizes and fill their rooms
to capacity.

The final chapter in
fraternity row was writ-
ten as Sigma Chi finally
opened the old Zeiger

house as its official
residence.

Overall, it was a
year of transition and
testing.

Support was evident
as a new sorority was
approved for charter,
and Alpha Kappa Al-
pha prepared for its
campus debut.

An ancient greek
tradition was an im-
portant part of a brief
one hundred years as
it headed toward the
next century. One
hundred and counting
. . . "the whole is the
the sum of all its
parts."

The sound of
screaming girls
racing across
the campus on
squeal night was a famil-
iar, yet delightful reoc-
curence in the fall of 1987
as a record number of
girls participated in soror-
ity rush.

After a week of smiling
continuously, being asked
what their major was a
thousand times and drink-
ing many glasses of punch,
the night that the rushees
had waited for had finally
come.

However, this night was
not only anticipated by the
rushees, but also by the so-
rority sisters who had
spent many hours singing,
polishing skits and mem-
orizing rushee names in
preparation for the impor-
tant week.

This year, the Panhel-

lenic Council decided to try a
new approach to squeal
night. The rushees did not
dress in all white and gather
in Pittman circle to receive
their bids. The nervous girls
instead gathered in Reid
Chapel where they were di-
vided into their rush groups.
The groups were then
moved to separate rooms
where they received their
bids.

However, these anxious
girls were not allowed to
open their bids yet. Everyone
gathered back in the Chapel
and opened their bids at the
same time. There were a few
impatient girls, however,
who ripped corners, held
their bids under the lights,
and did whatever they could
to see what sorority's name
was hidden under the enve-
lope flaps.

As the seal was finally bro-
ken and the name of the so-

rority was revealed, the girls
rushed to a designated pew
to claim a jersey, hastily put
it on and head toward the
sorority rooms and their anx-
ious new sisters.

Outside the chapel, the
girls were greeted by curious
guys that had pounded on
the doors and peered in the
windows while the girls were
opening their bids.

The new pledges were
greeted by their proud new
sisters with open arms. The
sorority rooms were filled
with clapping, chanting, pic-
ture-taking, smiling, laugh-
ing, and hugging.

Due to the late hour, most
of the celebration parties
were held the following
night. This was a wonderful
ending to a memorable week
for pledges and members
alike.

Everyone heard about
the hectic week of
Rush that came in the
fall semester, but few
had any conception
about what went on behind
the scenes of giggling girls
and crisp, new jerseys.

Within the university, a
governing body for the social
sororities existed known as
the Panhellenic Council.

Panhellenic corrdinated
Rush week activities as well
as the activities of the soror-
ities throughout the year.

The Panhellenic Council
was the local branch of a na-
tional organization. The Na-
tional Panhellenic Council
registered and followed the
activities of twenty-six na-
tional social sororities.

Closer to home, the main
job of the Panhellenic Coun-
cil was to organize and con-
duct Rush. They were re-
sponsible for laying down the
Rush rules in accordance
with national and university

guidelines.

I hey matched invitations
and bid lists; they served as
the disciplinarians for Rush
infractions; and they were re-
sponsible for the overall
smooth flow of the week.

The council cited four
main purposes that included:
to maintain fraternity life
and interfraternity relations
on a high plane; to cooperate
with the administration in
the maintenance of high so-
cial standards; to further fine
intellectual accomplishment
and sound scholarship; and
to compile rules governing
rushing, pledging and initi-
ating.

Each sorority elected two
Panhellenic representatives
each year. Each sorority had
a Senior Panhellenic Repre-
sentative and a Junior Pan-
hellenic Representative. Se-
nior Panhellenic members
were responsible for the
large portion of the paper-
work.

Junior Panhellenic
members served as Rush
group leaders. The) were
responsible for keeping
Hack of the girls and for
answering any questions
they might have had.

Senior Panhellenic
members for 1987-88
were: Kara Pless, Delta
Zeta, President: Mandv
Bennett, Alpha Delta Pi:
Melanie Pennington, Chi

Delta Zeta: Audi Camp-

Throughout the nation,
one of the most no-
ticeable trademarks
of the Sigma Chi Fra-
ternits was the Derby Days
competition. Sororities compet-
ed in various events where
points were awarded for the
events and an overall winner
was named at the end of the
week.

The week of October 5-9 was
Derby Days week. Along with
the approval of the various
events, university officials also
handed down some specific
rules to govern the competition.
In previous years, some of the
competition had gotten very
fierce, even to the point of in-
jury.

In the Derby Snatch, the fra-
ternity members were given a
derby to wear to class. The

competition was for the sororities
to see how many derbys they could
steal during the day. That was easy
enough except that there was a
catch. The derbys could only be
taken from a member outside.

The derby scavenger hunt was a
race to find "Golden Derby" that
was hidden somewhere on-
campus. The girls also participated
in a room decorating contest where
they paired 2X paraphernalia with
their own letters to show their spir-
it. The skit contest was another
time to show 2X spirit as the so-
rorities made up original skits that
depicted various aspects of the fra-
ternity.

Events day was also a compe-
tition where the sororities compet-
ed in some goofy games for points.
The annual awards were: Derby
Darling, which was Laura Billing-
sley and Mr. Legs, which was Paul

Storey.

The week was a great success.
The fraternity raised $3500 for
their philanthropies, the Boys
Ranch and Wallace Village, and
everyone that participated had a
great time. For the first time, the
service sorority. T22, participated
in the competiton for the Golden
Derby trophy. The trophy was won
by the ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha.

All the other groups that placed
received cash awards to use as they
wished. The men's fraternities
were extended an invitation to par-
ticipate in the week, but they all
declined.

Ross Campbell, a sophomore
from Memphis. Tennessee, served
as Derby Days Chairman. He com-
mented on the week, "It was a
great experience, but I'll never do
it again. I was relieved that eve-
rything went so smoothly."

Sigma Chi Derby Days —
these words usually
brought to mind a fun-
filled week of games,
skits, and any kind of event that
would raise money for charity.

All the excitement made it easy
to forget the rich tradition behind
the annual event.

Derby Days were sponsored by
most of the Sigma Chi chapters
around the country.

The local event was begun by
the Pi chapter three years ago.

Each year, the chapter has in-
creased the money raised for char-
ity from the preceding year.

For the sororities, the week was
filled with fun competition.

On the other side of the coin,
however, the week was a lot of
work for the Sigma Chi brothers.

The preparation became a sub-
stantial part of chapter programs

that included a great deal of plan-
ning and financing.

The first Derby Days were held
at the University of Tennessee in
1935.

The idea spread as University of
Georgia Sigma Chi's took the idea
back to their chapter.

More recently, Derby Days were
helping to support the Wallace Vil-
lage for Children and other local
charities.

Sigma Chi became the first
men's collegiate social fraternity to
adopt and maintain an internation-
al service project.

The Wallace Village is a na-
tional center for the training and
rehabilitation of emotionally dis-
turbed and behaviorally disordered
children.

It caters to the needs of the child
under the philosophy that every
person has the right to live his or

her life to the fullest with a
sense of self worth.

The goal of the Wallace Vil-
lage is to return adolescents to
the mainstream of society ready
to lead productive lives.

The late John Wayne, a Sig-
ma Chi brother, said, "The
Wallace Village project, to me,
is probably the finest, most
heartwarming act of unselfish
giving in the history of Sigma
Chi . . . my brothers are doing
their part to give these young
Americans the start in life that
they deserve."

Working to support a cause
such as the Wallace Village
brings out the best in people
and, in the words of Wayne,
"your investment in the future
of our youngsters is an invest-
ment in a great America."

Skil night wan a fun time for eve-
ryone. Some of the Sigma Chi
brothers got picked on while the so-
rorities portrayed their favorite
brothers in their own special ways.

No matter what greek
letters ma) have
adorned one's jersev
and no matter how
different thev appeared to be.
all the greek organizations had
one thing in common. They all
had some form of a ritual cer-
emori) .

According to a dictionary
definition, ritual was any es-
tablished form of any ceremo-
ny. It was composed of a system
of rites, a ceremonial act or

For every organization, spe-
cific services and traditions are
termed "ritual services." For
Lambda Chi Alpha, the services
began with formal Association
where the new members were
introduced to the fraternity.

After this ceremony, the new
associates received their official
pins. At that lime, their official

Lew Arnold

associateship began.

The culmination of the rituals of
the fraternit) came during the
spring semester at the end of ini-
tiation week, otherwise known as
"Hell Week. - '

During the week, the associates
participated in various activities
that taught them more about the
fralernilv and brought them closer
to their brothers.

During the initiation service,
most of the secret symbolic mean-
ings and traditions were revealed
to the associates for the first time.

After going through this service,
the associates were considered
full-fledged members of the broth-
erhood. All elements of the ritual
services were extremely sacred
and are only revealed to initiated
brothers.

"Ritual, if indifferently prac-
ticed, can indeed become rigama-
role, but something far deeper than

repetitive performance makes rit-
ual vital and cnduring."according
to The Puedagogiis. the Associate
Manual.

Some 758 people have partic-
ipated in the ritual service at the
Theta Alpha Chapter.

"The ritual is very special to
me," said Scott Holbert, a soph-
omore from Knoxville, Tennessee,
"it is the common bond between
me and my brothers."

While the ritual was uniform
throughout all the active chapters,
it was also a very individual ex-
perience for those who were a part
of it.

The Lambda Chi Alpha ritual
was written by John Mason and he
said, "the key to the spiritual suc-
cess of Lambda Chi Alpha lay in
the ritualistic work."

Mxtra effort

Pledging a fraternity
was a very exciting yet
overwhelming experi-
ence. All of a sudden,
some poor innocent freshman
had thirty or forty new
"brothers" and everyone kept
talking about the "little sisters."
Many of the guys had just got-
ten rid of their little sisters by
leaving home. Fortunately,
these were the kind of little sis-
ters one might like to have
around. They actually did NICE
things for you!

The Brothers of Pi Kappa Al-
pha fraternity had an exception-
al little sister program. They
went to great lengths to pick the
right girls for them and make
sure that those girls felt really
special about being a part of the
group.

Every pledge was assigned a
big sister to help him get ad-
justed to being part of the
group.

Many of the "bigs" baked
cookies or helped with studying
or just made themselves avail-
able when the guys needed a
friend.

All of the initiated brothers
were paired with one of the little
sisters in order to share the same
things with them.

Jill Johnson, a junior from
Sewanee, Georgia, said, "Being
a Pike little sister is a big honor
and lots of fun."

The little sisters helped the
guys out in a variety of ways
throughout the year. They
helped as hostesses during all of
the rush parties.

They were avid supporters of
the guys during all the intramu-
ral sports and, naturally, they
were great just to talk the guys
up.

"Our little sisters help us out a
lot in rush and support all of our
activities one hundred percent,"
said Gery Anderson, a senior

from Selma.

Some special little sisters
included the Pledge Class
Sweetheart and the "Dream
Girl."

Leigh Thornton, a
sophmore from Gadsden,
was chosen as Pledge Class
Sweetheart for 1987-88. A
member of Alpha Delta Pi
sorority, she was an interior
design major.

Being chosen as the Dream
Girl was a great honor. This
person was the sweetheart of
the fraternity and she was
usually a senior. Poppi
O'Neal was choserr as the
1987-88 Dream Girl. Poppi
was from Jacksonville, Flor-
ida, was a management major
and a member ot Delta Zeta
Sorority.

The brothers of
Pi Kappa Phi
actively partic-
ipate in a big
and little
brother program.

This program is a vital
part of eacn fraternity in
order to strengthen rela-
tions between the broth-
ers.

Each new pledge has the

Erivilege of choosing a
rother that they would
like to be their big broth-
er. The obligations that
go along with being a big
brother simply include
providing a friend, a help-
mg hand during the
pledgeship and a new jer-
sey.

The job is an easy one
that adds a great deal to
the bond within the fra-
ternity.

A formal pledging cer-
emony is given and at this
time the pledge is intro-
duced to his big brother.

Pi Kappa Phi

This begins the bond that
will always be remembered.

In addition to this, the
brothers are constantly
working to make Pi Kappa
Phi the best.

The hard work began in
the summer as they planned
and organized committees to
assure a smoother running
rush. Each committee, made
up of little sisters as well as
brothers, worked to improve
rush parties to impress the
rushees.

They had a successful rush
with evidence of all the hard
work showing up with 21
new pledges.

The Pi Kap's did well once
again in intramurals as they
participated in every sport
offeree! .

They were also proud of
their brothers who repre-
sented the university on the
football, baseball, and bas-
ketball teams. They felt it
was important to participate
in and support the univer-

sity s programs.

The group was actively in-
volved with their philanthro-
py, working with the boys at I
Big Oak Boys Ranch. The
acted as "brothers" and
friends to the boys and
gained a strong satisfaction
from the boy's smiling faces.

In the social sense Pi Kap-
pa Phi always provided fun
parties to attend.

Their major parties in-
cluded the Star and Lamp
semi-formal held at the Hy-
att Hotel, the Rose Ball for-
mal held in Gulf Shores, Al-
abama, and a new one that
proved a great success was
the "Come as Your Favorite
Athelete" party.

Pi Kappa Phi continued to
carry on their traditions
while striving to stay on top!

Or?

For the Brothers of Sig-
ma Chi Fraternity, the
1987-88 school year was
definitely a time for
dreams to come true.
Sigma Chi, previously, did not
have a house. Since the frater-
nity's chartering, they had met
and held their parties in a con-
verted room in the Crawford
Johnson Men's Dormitory. Fi-
nally, after years of negotiations
and fund raising, the Sigma
Chi's anxiously moved into the
Zeiger House.

The new home was dedicated
on September 20, just in time
for Rush.

Brad Williams, a brother,
said, "It was a very long awaited
day. We never thought it would
come about so fast."

However, the work did not
end there. The brothers went
right to work painting, moving
furniture, and even planting
flowers to perfect the house in
time for Rush.

The hard work of the broth-
ers paid off as they added twen-

ty-seven pledges.

The highly competitive Derby
Days raised a record amount of
money for various charities in-
cluding participating sororities
philanthropies. After a week of
penny voting, derby snatching,
and car washing, Sigma Chi had
raised $3,500.

Athletics was another area of
excellence for the brothers.
They placed first in football and
soccer while capturing second
place in basketball and baseball.
For these efforts, they were
awarded the IFC All-Sports
Trophy.

However, this was not to be
the only trophy the group could
boast for the year. They also
received the IFC Award for
Member GPA and they were
named the IFC Best Fraternity
for the second year in a row.

Joel Weaver was named as the
senior class valedictorian. He ac-
cepted a full scholarship to study
in Exeter, England. Donald
"Duck" Cunningham was voted
as the escort for the Homecom-

ing Queen as well as being
voted Mr. Samford. Five out
of six Homecoming escorts
were Sigma Chi members
and three out of the five so-
rority pledge class sweet-
hearts were Sigma Chi
pledges.

For many of the Sigma
Chi's, their most important
accomplishments were two
national awards. The Peter-
son Significant Chapter
award, which recognizes out-
standing performance in all
major areas, was only award-
ed to 29 of the other 200
national active chapters. The
Pi chapter also received the
Legion of Honor Scholarship
Award.

To celebrate their most
successful year, the brothers
held their annual Sweetheart
Ball in Destin, Florida. Hope
Haslam was named as the
Sweetheart for the upcoming
school year.

The brothers of
Sigma Nu Fra-
ternity had an-
other very busy-
year.

There were a lot of
changes for the greek sys-
tem as a whole, however,
many things about this
brotherhood remained
very much the same.

The year began with a
very successful rush.

After pledging twenty
potential members, the
brothers began another
semester of training for
the new pledges.

After successful comple-
tion of the entire pledge
program, the brothers ini-
tiated thirteen new mem-
bers during the early part
of the spring semester.

The Sigma Nu's were,
jigma

once again, a force to be
reckoned with on the intra-
mural field.

In the intramural compe-
titions during the year, the
brothers had some time to
share together as well as a
chance to show off on cam-
pus.

During the fall semester,
they placed in the football
and volleyball competitions.

In the spring schedule, the
brothers placed in basketball
before going on to win the
title in the Softball compe-
tition.

The group maintained it's
scholastic reputation on cam-
pus by maintaining the sec-
ond highest grade point av-
erage.

The fall pledge class post-
ed the highest grade point
average of any fraternity

pledge class during the year.
The pledge class achieve-
ment was recognized during
the annual awards day cer-
emony held in May.

Officers for the 1986-1987
school year were: Brian
Raley, Commander; Ed Rich-
ards, Lieutenant Command-
er; Wade Hyatt, Treasurer;
David Tapscott, Recorder;
Jim Rice, Pledge Trainer;
Claude Tindal, Seminal.

on campus and to raise money

Fitch said he was pleased with
the week. "We wanted to break
down all the barriers between
the sororities and fraternities. I
think the groups grew closer to-
gether while having fun," Fitch
said.

Tim Hebson, Intrafraternity
Council Advisor, and Kim
Purvis, Panhellenic Advisor
helped with the planning of the
week's activities. Hollowell said,
"Tim and Kim were super co-
operative. They deserve a great
deal of credit for the success of
the week."

The week began with the
greek Olympics in the football
stadium. Hollowell said, "The
greek Olympics were great be-
cause there was no score taken.
With no competition, the
groups could just relax and have
fun because they weren't wor-
ried about winning."

Tuesday night was movie
night as the greeks got to see the
Steve Martin film, "Roxanne."

Wednesday night was the an-
nual cookout and chapel service.
Laura Scott, a Zeta Tau Alpha
and Kim Bramlett, a Phi Mu

sang at the chapel service.
The theme for the service
was unity.

way to promote fellowship
between the groups. During

lot of time with."

The greek tradition was car-
ried on this year as the
greek population grew steadily.

came fro

the

participants and supporters of
the Alpha Delta Pi intramural
program.

The intramural program was
university-wide. Many of the
participants, however, were the
Creek organizations.

As soon as Rush was com-
pleted in the fall, everyone got
going in the intramural com-
petition.

Main of the anxious new
pledges saw this as an excellent
opportunity to get invoked.

"We used to not even play.
and now we love it." said Jorja
Hollowed, a sophomore from
Olive Branch, Mississippi, and
the intramural director for Al-

pha Delta Pi.

In football, the girls have lots of
regularly scheduled practices.
"The) even make up some plays."
Hollowed said, "but mostl) the)
just do what comes naturally."

As far as the sorority was con-
cerned, the program was very or-
ganized and well worth the effort to
be involved. It was a good time for
all the girls and the "Pi Guys" to
come together.

Many times, they just get lost in
the shuffle and don't get to spend
any good time together.

An intramural game always
seemed to bring out the Pi guys
and give the girls a chance to be a
pari, even if they weren't playing.

The coaches were chosen from
the Pi guys and thai gave another
opportunity for involvement.

Not only did the program allow
for some special sister time, it also
was one indicator of the running
battle to see who was the best on
campus.

There was a definite improve-
ment in this program.

With the addition of soccer to
the girls' schedule and winning the
soflball tournament, the Alpha
Delta Pi's found themselves on a
pretty good level.

They suffered, however, in bas-
ketball.

In one game, they were only
able to score 4 points. The reaction
— "We used to not play, so even
when we lose, we're able to laugh it
off."

It was no doubt that the so-
rorities and fraternities looked
beyond their own groups and
got the helping hands that
they needed from others.

For the sororities, the extra help
was provided by their "big broth-
ers." One group that had a strong
program was Chi Omega.

The Chi-0 men were voted on
by the members and they helped
the sorority in many ways.

First, the men helped to support
the girls in their intramural games.
They also helped to coach the
teams.

During rush, the guys also
helped with moving furniture and
heavy props that needed to be re-
arranged.

They also helped by wearing the
girl's letters and generally talking
up the group.

The Owl Men were not only

givers though, they got some extra
special treatment too.

After they are voted on, they get
a personal serenade from all the
members.

They were also given T-shirts
that labeled them as big brothers.
They are given Big and Little sis-
ters.

This year, the new Chi-0 men
were kidnapped by their new little
sisters and forced to eat a pie be-
fore they could find out who they
belonged to.

There was a special night out for
the guys. Also, there was a special
Christmas party that was just for
the Chi-0 men, the members, and
the pledges.

One very special honor was be-
ing named the sweetheart of the
sorority. The Chi Omega girls
called their sweetheart the "Owl
Man."

This year, Gery Anderson, a
senior from Selma, was named
as the Owl Man.

"Being the Owl Man has
been a great honor and a lot of
fun," he said. "Chi Omega has
really made me feel special."

It was a great honor to be
singled out of all the guys on-
campus to represent and be a
part of Chi Omega. John Cook,
a freshman from Springfield.
Tennessee, was named as the
pledge class sweetheart.

Doug Kauffman. a sopho-
more from Huntsville, shared
his feelings about being a Chi-0
man.

"I could always be sure of a
friendly greeting and a smile
from a Chi Omega," he said.
"It's a special feeling knowing
that they love me as much as I
love them." — «<*-/«•/ /Wm

Through its efforts to
assist the deaf, the Alpha
Pi chapter became more
aware of t he disability of
the deal.

Members and pledges
joined together in learn-
ing the alphabet, the Delta
Zeta (reed, and the lyrics
to "Somewhere Out
There," in sign language.
the universal language of
the deaf.

This was used in a va-
ried of ways and in dif-
ferent settings throughout
the deaf community sur-
rounding Birmingham.

"It was nice to find out

that, with a handicap like
deafness, it is not as difficult
as we think to communi-
cate," said Lisa Bates, a soph-
omore pharmac) major.

One opportunity of sei \ i< e
was at a local church. Some
sisters used their basic knowl-
edge of the language when
they served at a dinner for
the members of the deaf
community sponsored by
McElwain Baptist Church.

"We were nervous to ap-
proach them or use what lit-
tle sign language that we
knew for fear of getting
something wrong or insult-
ing someone," said Sally
Johnson, a senior history ma-
jor.

"They were all friendly
and understood that we were
trying," said Johnson.

Other activities to benefit
the deaf included Derby
Days.

More important, however,
than the recognition was
coming to a personal aware-
ness.

Celita Pate, a sophomore-

"learning sign language has
given me a confidence that I
can communicate with peo-
ple that cannot hear."

ith record numbers
of freshmen enroll-

it soon became ob-
vious that Rush would be bigger
than ever.

It was announced after the sec-
ond day of Rush that quota would
be 47 girls.

To the surprise and amazement
of the members who were rushing,
they soon realized that their chap-
ters were being doubled and their
rooms were getting more crowded
by the minute.

After Rush was over, all the
sororities had pledged at least forty
girls and they weren't very sure
that they had a place to put them.

The sisters of Phi Mu had forty-
three members and forty-one
pledges. One problem that had to
be faced immediately was the fact
that the room was very overcrowd-
ed.

Because the rooms were located

in the dorms, they were more lim-
ited than houses or rooms in a
Panhellenic dorm might have
been.

Jennifer Davis, a junior from
Tuscaloosa, said. "It is impossible
to have organized meetings with
everybody in the room at the same
time. It is simply too hot and all of
the chairs cannot be put up."

Each group paid rent to the uni-
versity for the use of the room.

Thev were responsible for their
own decorations. \X hen the room
was remodeled two years ago. the
money came from the girls them-
selves.

Their big brothers were not al-
lowed in the room because the
room was located in the girl's
dorm.

The sisters had a room com-
mittee that served to take care of
the room and keep it clean.

The university had to begin to
look into various options for ex-

panding the rooms.

Some of the students came
up with their own ideas about
the future expansions.

"1 think they should have so-
rority floors in Beeson Woods
lor each sorority."" stated Cindy
Pike, a sophomore from Valley.

Whatever the solution, it was
sure that it was somewhere
down the road.

There was no way that the
changes would be worked out
and completed before the next
Rush.

There had to be some time to
work with each groups national
organizations and to make some
definitive plans.

For the time being, the
rooms remained crowded and
constantly changing.

For the Phi Mu sisters, they
had to adjust themselves and try
to conduct business as usual.

out of a girl's mouth when
she realized that a sorority or
fraternity formal was quickly
approaching and she had to
look and feel her best for the
big night, or nights as the
case might be.

Weeks of anticipation,
frustration and nervousness
often accompanied waiting
for formal weekend to arrive.
A formal did not only encom-
pass a sit-down dinner and
dancing in tuxedos and fancy
dresses. Most sororities had a
"casual night" as a part of the
full weekend.

"We had our casual night
on Friday this year, and our
formal was on Saturday,"
said Anne Wilson, a junior
member of Zeta Tau Alpha,
said. "It is just a tradition
that we do it that way."

Most of the sororities rent-
ed a hotel ballroom and a
band or a disc jockey for the

Lambda Chi Alpha

Fraternities did things a little
bit differently however, when
they whisked their dates away
for a weekend on the beaches of
the Florida gulf coast.

How to pay for this was the
question of many of the frater-
nity brothers asked when they
faced the task of feeding, hous-
ing, and entertaining a girl for
the entire weekend.

"Ours was relatively inexpen-
sive for a whole weekend," said
Jon Corts, a brother of Sigma
Chi. "We try to help the guys
out when they can't afford it,
and where there's a will, there's
a way. Some guys even had a car
wash to raise money for the
weekend."

Corts said the fraternities
held their formal in the Panama
City/Fort Walton area because
it was convenient to school and
"everyone wants to go to the
beach."

Fraternities had traditions at
their formals also.

Corts said that on Friday
night they cooked out for their
dates or took them to a nice

restaurant. Saturday mornings
were reserved for the guys to
get together and play golf to-
gether.

"There was a lot of tradition
involved," Corts said. "We
presented the Pledge and Broth-
er of the Year Awards at the
dinner held on Saturday night.
It was just a good weekend to
get out of Birmingham and get
away with your date."

It may not have been as much
of a milestone as a senior prom,
and your date may not have
been the romantic partner that
one had always dreamed of, but
Formal weekend was an impor-
tant part of the greek experi-
ence and an excellent way to
round out the year.

Anew look for
university ath-
letics was very
evident during
the pivotal year for the
university. Success and
competitiveness grew bit
by bit as personnel
changed and the univer-
sity commitment to ath-
letic excellence grew
larger.

The new look of Bull-
dog football exploded
on the scene with a 9-1
record season. From
there, the announce-
ment was made that the
team would move up to
Division I-A competi-
tion. The new faces of
Terry Bowden and staff
made a very lasting im-
pression.

The basketball and

baseball teams wel-
comed new head
coaches as well as
some very unwelcome
visitors. Coach Ed Mc-
Clean and Coach Jim
Dietrick had to deal
with tough losing sea-
sons and the task of
rebuilding.

The track and cross
country teams also en-
joyed successful sea-

ance of Coach Bill

Overall, the athletic
endeavors of the uni-

and time only helped
to increase the quality

A GIANT
STEP
FORWARD

The Samford Bulldogs,
once ihe punchline of
the jokes of local
sports fans and the
media, quieted the jesters and
drew many new onlookers in
1987. making them take notice
that winning football had re-
turned to the university.

No one knew, however, what
to expect from the Dogs before
the season began. With a new
head coach, and a team that
had compiled a 6-21 record
over the last three years, many
questions lingered in the minds
of Bulldog supporters.

But with the seniors who had
helped build the program.
Coach Terry Bowden began to
build his team. And along with a
group of players who, in a con-
troversial move, migrated from
Salem College to play football
for Bowden. Samford Univer-
sity fielded a squad that proved
to be a dominant force in Di-
vision III football.

Even with the questions that
had arisen before the season
began, Bowden said. "I have
complete confidence that
Samford is going to win some
ballgames," as more than 150
men reported to fall drills in

fensive bark from Atlanta,

'ge in the Homecoming game.

late August.

With his sights set on the
team's opener with Cumberland
College, Bowden and his staff
began to mold and refine the
talent on his squad.

In pre-season drills, one of
the most talked-aboul moves by
Bowden was a change at the
quarterback spot. Scotty King,
a pre-season all-American pick
by the Football Neus ,had the
opportunity to become
Samford's all-time leader in
passing and total offense. But
Jimbo Fisher, a two-time Na-
tional Association of Intercol-
legiate Athletics all-American
from Clarksburg. West Virgin-
ia, who had led two of Bowden's
Salem teams to the NAIA
playoffs, was now contending
for quarterback.

"Two ail-Americans on the
same team at the same position
would never work," Bowden
said.

Then, in what Bowden called
"an unselfish move that will
make this team a winner,"
King, a senior from Moundville,
gave up his chances for a re-
cord-breaking season by mov-
ing to defense to play comer-
back.

"Some people say if they
were me, they would be bitter
with me being an all-American
and everything," King said

) 170

FORWARD a,a

"But I'm me and I'm not
bitter. I accepted it and now
I just want to be the best
cornerback I can be."

King's move to corner-
back made it possible for
Fisher to move into the
quarterback spot and begin
running the offense — a
move that made a visible im-
pact on the outcome of the
season.

\\ hile summer drills con-
tinued through September,
some people expressed con-
cern about how the Bulldogs
would handle opening their
season so late in the year.

Most teams already had
two games under their belts
while the Dogs practiced.

52-yards to Matthews to up the
score to 28-17.

The defense then took over,
allowing the Indians only six
additional points as the Bull-
dogs won 28-23.

"The key had to be the de-
fense," Bowden said. "We
know our defense can play, and
we know we can play 60 min-
utes of football. But it doesn't
get any easier for us."

Matthews, who had been
plagued by injuries for most of
his career at Samford, was an
unlikely hero in the Cumber-
land game.

He had 119 reception yards

Matthews said. "The offense

unstopable."

the Hampden-Sydncy Tigers.

game on a two-yard touch-

senior running back from
Charleston. South Carlolina.
Then, in the second quarter,
cornerback Jerome Beamon,
a junior from Birmingham,
began what would be a fruit-

The Dogs scored again on

Beamon intercepted an-

day and tying him with seven

who hold thai mark.

Samford took to the road for
its third contest of the season to
face the Bulldogs of Tennessee
Wesleyan College. Tennessee
Wesleyan was looking to win its
first game of the year as the
Bulldogs from Samford were
looking to go 3-0 for the first
time since football was revived
in 1984.

Samford came out of the
gates and never looked back as
they blasted the Bulldogs from
Tennessee 59-7.

Samford again provided the
crowd with another record-

rolled up 658 yards on total
offense and 31 first downs,
both new school records.

Bofamy broke his own record

team realize that on that af-

footbrawl.

Frustration led to heated words

After the Dogs missed the
extra point, it took players and

however, was outshined by

CLOSE BUT

NOT
COUNTING

Followers of the bas-
ketball team expect-
ed improvement in
leaps and rebounds
from the bleak 1986-1987
season when the crimson
and blue finished with a 4-
22 record.

The 87-88 program
looked bright with the ad-
dition of first year head
coach Ed McClean, the for-
mer assistant coach who
helped lead the North Car-
olina State Wolfpack to a na-
tional championship in
1983.

The return of senior guard
Rembert Martin, the leading
scorer in the Trans-America
Athletic Conference also
brightened the picture.

The supporting cast,
which had another year of
experience under its belt and
the addition of several tal-
ented junior college trans-
fers, led these same Bulldog
supporters to great expec-
tations from the team.

A vigorous schedule that
allowed the Dogs to play on-
ly ten games in the friendly

The right form was just the key
to getting a free point. Here,
Bill Middlebrooks lets one fly for
the Bulldogs. For the season, Mid-
dlebrooks shot 76 percent from

confines of Seibert gymna-
sium, nagging injuries that
hampered players in the
middle of the conference
schedule, and conflict inside
the organization, however,
sent the team spiralling in
another dissappointing sea-
son.

The Bulldogs played sev-
eral exhibition scrimmages
at area high schools before
dropping an 81-76 match
with Athletes In Action. The
Bulldogs lost the game but
they gained some valuable
experience.

"A lot of positive things
came out of the game," said
Coach McClean, "our kids
did not let them blow us
away and they made a run of
their own."

The AIA squad jumped
out to a 39-30 lead at half-
time. That lead was
stretched to a 70-53 advan-
tage on a Zack Jones slam
dunk mid-way through the
second half.

Little by little, the Dogs
chipped away at the lead
pulling to within three points
with 19 seconds left in the
game. The Dogs could not
catch the AIA squad paced
by former Alabama star

The scene on the bench was
pretty tense as the Bull-
dogs watched the game. In
what was hoped to be a better
i, the Bulldogs faced
rebuilding problems and
experienced another disap-
pointing year.

"The high point
of the season was
beating Oral Rob-
erts. They have a
well-established
team and we beat
t h e m on t h e
road."

Mark Gottfried who had
23 points.

The first game of the
season was against Ten-
nessee State in Nashville.
Tennessee State had de-
feated the Bulldogs in the
first game of the 1986
regular season. With Ar-
nold Hamilton's 29
points, the Dogs shocked
their opponents and went
on to a 90-72 victory.

The next stop was in
Cookeville, Tennessee,
where the Dogs took on
Tennessee Tech.

After the Golden Ea-
gles built up a lead of 18
points, the Dogs fought
back with powerful re-
bounding and came to
within two.

Even with the powerful
rebounding of center
Richard Sutherland and
Arnold Hamilton's 21
points, the effort was not
enough, though, and their
record fell to 1-1.

The Bulldogs took part
in the Citizens Bank-

Runnin Joe Classic held
in December.

After a first-round loss
to host Arkansas State,
the Dogs defeated Missis-
sippi Valley State in the
consolation round.

In that game, Hamilton
led with 16 points while
Richard Sutherland and
Rembert Martin each had
eight rebounds.

The Eagles, who had
pulled out a two-point vic-
tory in the second game
of the season, fell behind
in the first half, 33-27.

half.

Senior Fred Williams

iced the game for the
Dogs, 57-53 for their
third victory of the sea-
son.

The Bulldogs took to
the road for a tour of the
southwest as they played
the conference leading
Trojans of Arkansas-
Little Rock.

With the score tied 47-
47 at the half, Samford
went ice cold in the sec-
ond half as it did not
score in its first five pos-
sessions.

Trailing by six points
wilh five minutes to play,
Martin scored six straight
points to tie the score 70-

Bulldogs.

UALR out-rebounded
S.U. 50-22.

In the middle of the
season the Bulldogs were
becoming infamous for
falling behind early and
then falling short after a
late charge.

The Louisiana Tech
Bulldogs saw the Samford
Bulldogs play that scenar-
io perfectly as the
Samford squad dropped
its sixth game of the sea-
son 73-67.

Martin had a season-
high 18 points for
Samford. Sutherland add-
ed 12 points and five re-
bounds.

In Abilene, Texas, the
Dogs went up against
Hardin-Simmons in an-
other TAAC game.

After leading by as
many as eight in the first
half, the Dogs trailed at
halftime by a score of 37-
33. They kept right on the
Cowboys' heels but were
unable to pull out a win.

Rembert Martin had
23 points and Arnold
Hamilton was right be-
hind with 22.

The Bulldogs dropped
their fourth straight game
to the Roadrunners of
Texas-San Antonio after
being behind from the
opening tip.

The Dogs were down
by ten points before they
could get their first points
of the game.

That lead would in-

Martin had 1 5 points and
Hamilton led the team

for the Bulldogs, Bennie
Carter had 1 1 points.

In a rare appearance at
home, the Bulldogs faced
the Mercer Bears. The
Dogs were able to break
their four-game losing
streak in spite of a late
run by the Bears.

Rembert Martin, the
Bulldog captain, scored a
season high 27 points in
the game and grabbed six
rebounds.

The next contest was
against the Georgia State
Panthers. They hit the
hardwood and did not let
up as they won by a score
of 87-66.

Georgia State shot a
blistering 67 percent
while the Bulldogs could
only muster 27 percent
from the field. The brief
home stand ended in a
loss as the Bulldogs took

to the road for a six-game
trip.

Coach McClean com-
mented on the team's kill-
er schedule.

"That's the most ridic-
ulous schedule I've ever
seen," he said, "that's a
pro schedule."

With their first stop at
Stetson, the Bulldogs got
a taste of a real blowout.

A 17-3 scoring run
proved to be the differ-
ence as they won 80-67.
Again, the imbalanced of-
fensive attack was led by
Martin and Hamilton as
they provided 41 of the
67 points.

Samford travelled to
Georgia Southern to face
the Eagles who were 7-1
and atop the TAAC stand-

stifled the Bulldog squad,
as Georgia Southern de-
feated Samford 76-59.
Junior center Darrell

Samford signed Tim

Many of the members of
the cross country team

The main differences
between the two sports
were the places where
thev ran and the events
they competed in.

Cross Country, just as it
is named was run on nat-
ural courses. The athletes
trained in a variety of
ways.

On many afternoons, it
was not uncommon to see
the team running around

The women placed first

Post season competition

RECORD-
BREAKING
LOWS

The term "building
year" took on a
whole new mean-
ing for the base-
ball Bulldogs. Graduation
and a new head coach
were just two of the major
adjustments that affected
their play.

Frustration filled the
hearts of university base-
ball players and support-
ers as the Bulldogs nearly
swung their way into the
National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association record
books, finishing with an 8-
49-1 record.

That record was just
one defeat away from
Long Beach State's 1980
record for defeats in a sin-
gle season.

There was definitely
not much argument that
Jim Dietrick, a first-year
head coach, and his Bull-
dog squad had the cards
stacked against them from
the beginning of the sea-
son.

From opening day on,
the uphill struggle became
harder and harder with
the combination of an in-
experienced head coach
and an inexpei ien< ed
team.

say this. Our

level of play
did improve as

the season

progressed."

— Jim Dietrick

"With the season we ex-
perienced," said Dietrick,
"it's awful hard to look
back on my first Division I
coaching job and find
many fond memories."

The university opened
the 1988 season with a win
over Southwest Louisiana
in an unusual bayou snow
storm. The team went on,
after leaving Lafayette,
Louisiana, but they never
seemed to thaw out.

After the win against
Southwest Louisiana, the
Bulldogs dropped eleven
straight games before win-
ning again. The Bulldogs
picked up win number two
with a 9-5 score over Liv-
ingston university in the
home opener.

Early March saw the
Bulldogs lost fourteen of
the next fifteen games
against collegiate baseball
powerhouses such as
Georgia Tech, Florida
State, and Florida South-

195

LOUUS^w

With the likes of Au-
burn, along with Trans
America Conference
[lowers Georgia South-
ern and Stetson left to
play, the Bulldogs could
manage just six more
wins in thirty-one more
outings.

"I remember the
losses we suffered, the
close games that we
played, and the frustra-
tion we felt," Dietrick
said, 'But I can honest-
ly say this. Our level of
play did improve as the
season progress."

"I'm certain that
both the people we
played as well as the
people who watched us
play have a lot more re-
spect for Bulldog base-
ball than they had in
the past."

"I feel for the guys
that were playing in
their last year, the ones
who have played here
the last two or three
years," Dietrick said. "I

hated to see their careers

end on a season like this."

The Bulldogs lost ten
games by just a single run,
many of those losses com-
ing in the final inning.

"We faced so many
tough teams that each loss
began to really wear us
down, making the next
game even tougher to
win," said junior Co-
captain Carl Tolbert.

Despite the dismal over-
all picture of the season,
there were a few individ-
ual bright spots that high-
lighted the season.

Joe Dennis, a sopho-
more from Galesburg, Il-
linois, led Bulldog hitters
with a .296 batting aver-
age. Dennis transferred to
Auburn-Montgomery af-
ter the season.

First baseman Lee Hall
and third baseman Billy
Madrill led the team with
seven home runs each.
Hall also paced the Bull-
dogs in doubles with 12
and runs batted in with
36.

Tolbert, who also was
used as an outfielder,
sported a 4.53 earned run
average to lead the pitch-
ing staff. Despite that av-
erage, no Bulldog pitcher
won more than two
games.

Due to the concentra-
tion on the chase for the
loss record, a couple of no-
table achievements were
virtually overlooked.

The Bulldogs came
within just one double
play short of a Division I
record for twin killings in
a game, turning six against
Florida Southern. During
the course of the season,
the Bulldogs turned sixty-
one double plays and one
triple play.

A swing and a miss was not
all that unusual during the
season for the Bulldogs. Here,
the strong opposition, Auburn,
looks on as the luck seems to
run out on the home team.

A break between innings was
very welcome as the spring
heat made everyone work up a
sweat. Here, the umpire, grabs a
drink before the next round of
heated competition.

Some of the totals for
the year were: RUNS:
Bulldogs, 244 vs. Oppo-
nents, 540; HITS: Bull-
dogs, 449 vs. Oppo-
nents, 667; HOME
RUNS: Bulldogs, 27 vs.
Opponents, 67; RUNS
BATTED IN: Bull-
dogs, 202 vs. Oppo-
nents, 452; and OVER-
ALL BATTING AV-
ERAGE: Bulldogs, .242
vs. Opponents, .331.

After the rough sea-
son and rebuilding that
took place, Dietrick re-
signed his post in May.
He was replaced by Mis-
sissippi State Assistant
Coach Tommy Walker.

Walker, a former
University of Monteval-
lo star, immediately
went to work recruit-
ing. He landed ten jun-
ior college players.

Among those were
four pitchers to bolster
a staff that finished
1988 with a soaring
t.15 earned run aver-
age. Rounding out the

recruiting class were two
catchers, two shortstops,
an outfielder, and a first
baseman/outfielder.

"We had just ten play-
ers returning from the
1988 season," Walker
said, "and there was not a
catcher, shortstop, or first
baseman among them."

"We felt like we needed
the chance to sign junior
college players because
they have the best chance
of coming in here and
contributing immediately.
I'm very proud of the
players we signed and I
think, before they are fin-
ished, the university will
be proud of them too,"
boasted Walker.

Striking out was not uncom-
mon during a Bulldog
game. Here, a swing and a miss
just added one more to the 390
that were accumulated during
the year.

A strike by opponents was
rare. Here, a visitor
swings and misses, as the ball
gets past him.

SEASON

FULL SWING

The university
Lady Bulldog
softball team
may not have
had a full, winning season,
but they certainly did ex-
perience what it was like
to be winners.

According to Martha
Davidson, head coach,
that was what she tried to
instill in the team
throughout the season.

Before the season be-
gan, Davidson expected
only good things as most
of her young squad was re-
turning for their second
year of action.

Davidson also shared,
"I've always been taught
to do the best you can with
what you have and I think
our women's softball team
did that and more this sea-
son."

"At the very beginning
of our season, we lost
some key players and I
think we were all con-
cerned about how it would
affect us for the season,"
said Davidson.

A sly look toward the umpire
was good enough for Maria
Schilleci as she waits for the
ball to be called by the offical.

The highlight of the
Lady Bulldog season was
winning the Columbus
College Invitational Tour-
nament where outfielder,
Lori Glasgow was named
the Most Valuable Player.

Davidson said although
the team had a disappoint-
ing year, they had the re-
spect of Trans America
Conference foes like
Georgia State and Stetson.

Glasgow shared that the
Lady Bulldogs began to
play like a team instead of
nine individuals on the
field. She said that by the
end of the season, the
team had developed a
sense of unity and the con-
fidence to win.

Second baseman Sharon
Barber, a freshman from
Birmingham said, "It has
just taken us a while to
come together as a unit
and be strong."

Both coach and players
agredd the main weakness
of the team was the pitch-
ing staff. Davidson said
the pitching was inconsis-
tent and that carried over
to the hitting.

Davidson resigned her
position as head coach in
May.

GETTING
NET

RESULTS

Coach Martha Da-
vidson said she
could sum up her
season in one
phrase . . . "character
building". The coach of
the women's volleyball
team said "that one
phrase was used over and
over again and I would
like to think this is the one
phrase that characterized
our whole season this past
year."

The women's team def-
initely had a disappointing
season.

The Lady Bulldogs
opened their season at
Troy State University and
lost the match in straight
games, 15-5, 15-3, 15-13.

The team rebounded
on the road in Jackson,
Mississippi as they defeat-
ed Jackson State, 15-6, 15-
9, 15-7, to even thri re-
cord at 1-1.

Davidson said, "we did
not have a winning season
but I hope we strived to be
team players. I hope we
learned how to communi-

Getting a particular aim in
mind was essential before
letting go of the serve. Here,
Holly Carr, looks toward the
opponent before planting her

cate with one another."

"We learned that it
takes the sacrifice of the
individual to make the
team work and if we
learned that then our past
year was successful," Da-
vidson said.

Davidson also shared,
"Those are the things that
are part of making a good
team and being successful
on and off the floor. We
had a lot of second year
people and I hope that
they can lead the team to
be successful next year."

Davidson gave credit to
Rodney Go, a volunteer
coach and former men's
volleyball for helping her
become a better coach. "I
really appreciated his ded-
ication and commitment,"
she shared.

Despite her optimism
for the future and her ca-
reer at the university, Da-
vidson resigned her post
as head coach in May.

The men compiled a 14-

preseason tournaments.

The men competed in

The Women's team par-

Two university team

Basketball saw a huge
jump in participation be-

teams registered to play,
five more teams than the
year before.

Participation had in-

on campus," said Ralph
Gold, director of the in-
tramural program.

Gold also added that if
more people were going

would have to be in-

The lack of money in
the program was definite-
ly causing some problems.

The major problem was

"How can a student call

rules?", asked Joey
Pardoe, a sophomore

nication major.

Gold said, "Students
have to officiate because
we don't have money for

Other campuses found
solutions to this problem.

The University of Ala-

charged a student activity
fee plus a fee for every

entered during the season.

Gold also shared some
steps that could be taken
to solve the problem.

"It would be a big help
if students were charged
an entrance fee for each

money intramurals al-
ready receives could solve
a lot of problems," he
said.

of intramurals could
provide a full-time di-
rector, better equip-
ment, and real officials.

Sometimes what be-
gan as a scheduled in-
tramural event between
two teams turned into a
hot-tempered fight and
a called-off game.

Nothing ruined an
intramural competition
faster than a fight.

Fighting among
teams, however, was
not a major problems at
the university.

On occasion, howev-
er, team members or
full teams mixed it up.

Gold said, "I don't
think that fighting was
a big problem."

Gold said he tended to
believe that some people
became a little too com-
petitive or lost perspective
of their game.

"It was just intramurals
here, not the University of
California at Los Angeles
vs. Notre Dame."

Gold also said that the
contact and team sports
were the ones which had
the most fighting, espe-
cially football and basket-
ball.

Although various or-
ganizations got into scuf-
fles, most of the fighting
occurred among the fra-
ternities.

Gold said that there had
never been anyone ejected
from a game that was with
an independent group.

i ** ' ■

Gold also added that
there had not been a prob-
lem with women fighting.

Again, the fighting was
related to the intramural
funding.

Much of the problem
could be eliminated if the
program had the money
to afford qualified offi-
cials.

Gold said the University
of Alabama at Birming-
ham used qualified offi-
cials and, to his knowl-
edge, had no problem
with fighting at all.

Qualified officials could
recognize when things
were getting out of con-
trol and take measures to
handle the situation.

Getting tough was a part of
practicing before the actu-
al competition. Here, members

In a pivotal
year for the
university,
the people
who made
the campus home proved
to be more important
than ever. As always, the
students bridged the gap
between a long, rich his-
tory and the modern
signs of the times.

Foremost of the year's
events was the change in
personnel. Although a
natural occurence in uni-
versity communities, it
seemed as though major
changes were in store.

In faculty ranks, Sam-
uel Mitchell, Martha
Brown, and Billy Gamble
began retirement at the
end of the year. Religion

professor Stephen
Bowden resigned his
position to accept the
pastorate of an area
church. Citing better
opportunities, Busi-
ness professors Lowell
Broom and Chad Den-
son resigned their po-
sitions.

The continued
growth in entering
classes provided great-
er opportunities for
student involvement.
100 and counting
meant moving toward
the future with a very
special commitment to
the most vital element
of the university: the
people who make it
up.

People DMeton J 2lV

Mylon Lefevre
and Broken
Heart won
the ears of the au-
dience with their
music, their hearts,
and their message as
they performed in
front of a full audi-
ence in the Leslie S.
Wright Fine Arts
Center Concert
Hall.

Students enjoyed
the band's contem-
porary Christian
music as well as the
light show and cho-
reography that com-
plemented it.

The band

brought the audi-
ence to their feet

and kept them
standing through-
out the entire per-
formance.

LeFevre, a born-
again Christian who
faced a hard strug-
gle against drug
abuse in his youth,
witnessed to the au-
dience half way
through the show.

The students said
they enjoyed this be-
cause he showed
that he was down to
earth without trying
to push anything on
them.

Kris Crosby, a
freshman from Bir-
mingham, found it
interesting that such

a diverse group of
people attended the
concert.

She said the
group seem to at-
tract different types
of students from
"clean-cut kids to
punkers."

Though the
group of students
may have looked dif-
ferent, they all had
at least one thing in
common, the love of
Christian rock music
and its message.

The message was
a strong one that
evening as 200-300
students came for-
ward at the close of
the show to accept

Christ during the in-
vitation.

The band's name,
Broken Heart,
comes from the
Psalm that says God
will not ignore a
broken and contrite
heart.

This attitude was
apparent in the
band's performance
that evening and in
their counseling at
the close of the
show.

LeFevre, along
with all the mem-
bers of the band, are
ordained Baptist
ministers.

The contemporary
Christian group,
Mylon LeFevre and
Broken Heart, per-
formed on-campus
during March. This
group is made up of
some ordained Baptist
ministers who share
the message of Jesus
with their audiences.

started in 1953 in
London in an attic
apartment in Pim-
lico.

Using simple silk
screens, Bernard
and Laura printed
tablemats and
scarves on an old
kitchen table in the
living room of the
apartment and sold
them to London de-
partment stores.

After settling in
Surrey, the Ashleys
moved to a factory
in Brasted in Kent, a
few miles from their
cottage.

In 1957, the local
river burst its banks
and flooded the fac-
tory and most of its
electric motors,
which had to be re-
built.

After surviving
this tragedy, the
company opened a
showr
lington Street, Lon-
don which took
more and more or-
ders.

During the late
sixties, the Ashleys
moved to retailing,
putting the profits
back into more fac-
tories and more
shops, more re-
search.

The retail busi-
ness had grown
to 240 shops
worldwide, and
over 5,000 staff
with considerable
numbers of indi-
rect staff through
its licensed oper-
ations.

Revenue each
year has been es-
timated at some-
where over 100
million dollars.

The birth of
the most fa-
mous super
hero in history was
commemorated as
the Action comics
character Superman
celebrated his fifti-
eth birthday.

The character was
created by Jerry
Siegel in Cleveland,
Ohio.

Originally, the
character was placed
in a villainous role.
It was not until 1934
that the idea came
to have Superman
play the part of a su-
per hero.

When that idea
struck Siegel, he got

his friend Joe
Schuster in on the
action of drawing
the character.

The character of
Lois Lane was based
on a high school
crush that Siegel
had.

In a TIME mag-
azine interview,
Siegel said, "As a
high school student,
I thought that some
day I might became
a reporter, and I
had crushes on sev-
eral attractive girls
that either didn't
know I existed or
didn't care that I ex-
isted ..."

The super hero

has been a part of
250 newspaper
comics, 13 years
of radio shows, 3
novels, 2 movie
serials, 104 tele-
vision episodes, a
Broadway musi-
cal, and five fea-
ture films.

"He is our
myth, the Amer-
ican myth," said
David Newman,
collaborator in
the musical and
three of the
films.

In the 1980s,

sharper colors

The tight shorts
or pants that came

most often seen in
black. The dark col-

florescent green,
yellow, or pink

The shorts were
worn to exercise on

they were tight fit-

for flexibility.

This year long-
er looks came
back into vogue
and almost any
length was accept-
able. It was not an
uncommon sight
to see skirts swish-
ing around the an-
kles next to a skirt
that was just just
barely scraping
the knee.

But no matter
what length of
skirt college girls
preferred, the
mini-skirt always
stood out in a
crowd.

The office mini-

skirt look was seen
more in the mag-
azines then in ac-
tual office wear,
but those that
were observed in
the board room or
by the copier were
generally stream-
lined and paired
with a boxy jacket.

The mini also
made its mark on
the night life of
students. Many
guys had to care-
fully help their
dates into the car
if the girl had
choosen to wear a
mini to those fra-
ternity or sorority
formals.

T-shirts, sweat-
er tops, tailored
blouses or casual
knit tops were
paired with every
type of mini imag-
inable. Shoes that
completed the
outfit ranged
from a pair of
Reeboks sandals
or dressy flats to
high-topped ten-
nis shoes.

resented an important

One of the
most inter-
esting ways
that the female pop-
ulation — and a few
of the males —
chose to express
their individuality
was through what
they wore on their
ears.

Daring females
wore long, dangling
earrings that came
in any shape or size.
Large hoops were
also popular, and,
occasionally one
could spot a hoop
large enough to be a
bracelet.

Having a set of
double holes was
popular — although
few people were
able to sit through
the pain to have
three or four holes
on one side. The ex-
tra hole on one side
only was also a pop-
ular phenomenon.

If a person want-
ed to keep a conser-
vative look, there
were still plenty of
earrings to choose
from.

Kissing rams,
shrimp loops, and
tiny balls all made
for a dainty, profes-

sional look.

Colored earrings
were also worn to
give an outfit a
pulled together, co-
ordinated appear-
ance.

Females were not
the only ones to ex-
press themselves
through earrings.

The males

pierced their ears
and wore diamond
studs or a dangling
cross to show their
uniqueness.

Although ear-
rings were often the
last item added be-
fore rushing out the
door, they served as
a statement of a per-
son's individual style
and taste.

One subject
that always
cropped up in the
minds of students
was money. In the
never ending
struggle for stu-
dents to stretch
each dollar to the
limit, every penny
had to be counted
carefully.

The university
also had to watch
its finances. For
the first time in
history, the uni-
versity exceeded
its fund raising
goal for the year.

The endow-
ment campaign
came to a success-
ful close after rais-
ing some $30 mil-
lion dollars.

The University
Board of Trustees
approved another

tuition increase
that was to be
used for the in-
creases in social
security and
health insurance
for university fac-
ulty and staff.

n June 1 ,
1988, Dr.
Timothy
George assumed
the post of Dean
of the new
Samford Universi-
ty School of Divin-
ity.

George, a native
of Chattanooga,
Tennessee, re-
ceived his Doctor
of Theology de-
gree from Har-
vard University,
his Master of Di-
vinity degree from
Harvard Divinity
School and his
Bachelor of Arts
from the Univer-
sity of Tennessee
at Chattanooga.

"In ministerial
education, Dr.
Timothy George
is among the best
and brightest in
the nation," said
university Presi-
dent, Dr. Thomas
E. Corts.

"He has both a
brillant mind and
a tender heart. He
has impeccable
credentials."

George came to
the newly formed
school from The
Southern Baptist
Theological Semi-
nary in Lousiville,
Kentucky where
he served as the
Associate Profes-
sor of Church His-

tory and Histori-
cal Theology.

Before assum-
ing his post there,
he served as the
pastor of the Fel-
lowship Baptist
Church of Chick-
amauga, Georgia,
and of the First
Baptist Church of
Chelsea, Massa-
chusetts.

He also served
as the Associate
Pastor of the Met-
ropolitan Baptist
Church in Cam-
bridge, Massachu-
setts.

George had
served as a visiting
professor at the
Baptist Theologi-
cal Seminary in
Ruschlikon, Swit-
zerland as well as
lecturing on Ref-
ormation Theolo-
gy at Baptist sem-
inaries in
Yugoslavia and
Hungary.

George had au-
thored numerous
articles that have
appeared in schol-
arly journals and
denominat ional

School was unveiled

school was to be locat-

publications.

They include:
John Robinson
and the English
Separatist Tradi-
tion, Theology of
the Reformers,
and Between the
Times: History
and Hope in the
Theology of John
Calvin.

University
Provost William
Hull described
Dean George as
''anchored
squarely in our
great heritage of
evangelical theol-
ogy and deeply
concerned to fos-
ter church growth
with integrity."

Hull continued
to say that "he

combines a di-
verse pastoral ex-
perience with
strong education-
al experience in
both university
and seminary set-
tings."

The university's
School of Divinity,
which will focus
on the work of the
pastoral minister,
was the first
School of Divinity
at a Southern Bap-
tist college or uni-
versity in the na-
tion. The school
was funded by the
largest gift from a
living individual
in university histo-
ry.

The Sam ford
Communica-
tion Associa-
tion was formed to
allow professional
journalists to share
their expertise with
student journalists.

Monthly meetings
served as a forum
for students to ask
questions about
journalism outside
the university set-
ting. Some local per-
sonalities that ap-
peared at monthly
meetings were: Mike
Royer, weatherman
for WBRC-6; pho-
tographer Spider
Martin; and Je-

anette Keller, public
relations director
for Southern Living
magazine.

The SCA spon-
sored its annual
awards banquet in
the spring. Writing
awards and Out-
standing Staff Mem-
ber awards for each
communication
branch were

presented at that
time.

After an 18-
month na-
tionwide
search, the univer-
sity finally named
Robert T. David,
49, as the new De-
an of the School
of Business. Da-
vid, who came to
Birmingham from
Dallas, Texas, re-
ceived his Bache-
lor of Arts degree
from Harvard and
went on to finish
first in his Har-
vard M.B.A. class.
After receiving
his M.B.A., the
high-tech entre-
preneur served as
the chief financial
officer of the Gen-
eral Signal Corpo-
ration in New
York, after being
with the company

for fifteen years.
Later, he moved
to Texas where he
became the Chair-
man of the Board
for TIGONE, an
electronics com-
pany. David also
served as Presi-
dent and Chief
Executive Officer
of Polatomic, Inc.
In addition to
these higher level
executive posi-
tions, David had
combined his
technical and busi-
ness skills to form
three highly suc-
cessful companies
in Dallas.

So why did he
become the Dean
of the Samford
Univeristy School
of Business?

David took the

position because
of its potential for
change. "Mr. Da-
vid is intrigued by
the university as a
private, Christian,
institution, and by
its recent commit-
ment to become a
computer inten-
sive environ-
ment," shared
President Corts.
"He is also aware
of the exciting
high technology
potential within
this university and
this community."

David would
like to start a stu-
dent-run business
in which the stu-
dents would edu-
cate the communi-
ty in computers.
He realized that
there was a large
market for this
type of service in
the Birmingham
area.

David had spo-
ken with many
people in New
York and Dallas
about donating
funds to the uni-
versity to help be-
gin the venture
capital firm. Such

Robert T. David was
appointed as the Dean
of the School of Busi-
ness. The search
spanned two school
years and many long
hours of looking for
just the right person.

a firm would lend
money to a busi-
ness just starting
out for a share in
the company. The
venture capital
firm at the univer-
sity would serve
the people of Bir-
mingham and uni-
versity students
would be associ-
ates in the firm
with a full-time
manager in

charge.

Another change
David looked to-
ward was to make
the school of busi-
ness more special-
ized. His goal was
to make university
graduates the
most sought after
employees in the
area.

David's motiva-
tion behind the
changes came
from the fact that
he feels, "part of
going through
school is the de-
velopment of a
self-awareness as
to what your tal-
ents are and to see
where those tal-
ents can be used."

David suc-
ceeded Dr. Wil-
liam Geer who
served as Dean for
more than twenty
years.

Some eight pro-
test signs posted
at the construc-
tion site of the Cen-
tennial Walk were re-
moved within hours
of the start of morn-
ing classes.

Signs were placed
on the columns and
in front of the library
protesting the con-
struction of the walk-
way, which cost be-
tween $275,000 and
$300,000. According
to university officials,
however, all monies

for the project were
donated specifically
for that purpose.

The posted signs
called the project a
"wasteful triviality",
"an idol", and a pros-
titution to the cam-
pus. Other signs read;
"A Brick Is A terrible
Thing To Waste",
"More Books Not
Bricks", and "Build
Minds Not Real Es-
tate".

The signs, which
were in violation of
university policy, re-
kindles the smolder-
ing flames from re-
cent arguments
concerning the nec-
cessity of the walk.

"The walkway
gives the opportunity

for the smaller per-
son to donate," said
President Thomas E.
Corts. "Since they
can't build a building,
this is a way to be a
permanent part of
history."

Gene Boshell, a
sophomore Pharma-
cy major, asked "The
Centennial Scar —
what use does it
serve?"

If people think no
one will use it, just
walk across campus
on a pleasant day and
see the groups dot-
ting the campus
lawn," said Michael
Duduit, Director of
Development. "The
Centennial Walk will
offer an additional
spot for such times."

Michelle McMinn,
a freshman, said that
she did not think
enough people walk
between the adminis-
tration building and
the library to justify
the walkway's con-
struction. She said

Duduit said the
problem was that
most people do not
understand that the
walk project would
not divert funds from
campus priorities and
in the long run it will
help bring more
money into the uni-
versity.

he Attorney
General of
the United
States, Edwin
Meese, made a stop
on campus during a
whirlwind visit to
Birmingham.

He spoke to uni-
versity students, fac-
ulty, and the public
during the convoca-
tion hour on Mon-
day, February, 29.

The visit was co-
sponsored by the
United States Attor-
ney's Office in Bir-
mingham and the
Cordell Hull Speak-
er's Forum Series of
the Cumberland
Law School.

His speech fo-
cused mainly on the
functions of the jus-
tice department.

He answered
questions on a vari-
ety of subjects rang-
ing from religion to
the taxation of stu-
dent loans.

He also conducted
a brief press confer-
ence while on cam-
pus.

During that time,
he answered ques-
tions about immi-
gration policies, the
situation in Nicara-
gua, and the Atlanta
prison riots.

He refused com-
ment, however, on
the details of a
probe into the ethics
of his role in the
Middle Fast oil pipe-
line project.

Meese made three
scheduled stops
while in the < n\

nor's Drug Aware-
ness Conference at
the Civic Center.

His second stop
was the speech at
the university.

The third stop of
the day was a law en-
forcement confer-
ence luncheon
where he spoke on
the subject of child
pornography.

Meese, Attorney
General since 1985,
joined the Reagan
administration as
counselor to the
president in 1981.

Prior to that ap-
pointment, Meese
served as a professor
at the University of
San Diego Law
School, where he
specialized in crim-
inal justice.

Meese had under-
gone various investi-
gations since his
nomination to the
post in 1985.

Three of the ma-
ns in-
» par-
ticipation in the
Iran-Contra affair;
Meese's part in a
New York defense
contractor's special
treatment; and
Meese's role in ob-
taining approval for
a $1.5 billion oil
pipeline in the Mid-
dle Fasi.

In Ih

dele

Attorney General Ed-
win Meese visited
the university on a

contractor investiga-
tion, two of Meese's
close associates were
charged with fraud
and racketeering in
connection with the
Wedtech Company.

In regard to the
pipeline question,
Meese received a
memo from his for-
mer attorney show-
ing that the Israelis
would profit from
the completion of
the oil pipeline.

The memo also
stated that some of
the money could be
funneled directly in-
to the Israeli Labor
Party.

After the memo
was turned over to
the independent
counsel investigat-
ing Meese's involve-
ment, it was thought
that Meese would be
called on to testify
before a grand jury.

Meese was eventu-

ally convicted and
resigned from his
position.
